About this listen
Days from civilisation five men are about to experience something beyond the rational.
In the snow slaked wilds where the natives fear to tread, these men search for moose but find something more terrifying and supernatural. With a rush of wind and the smell of feral nature one of their number is whisked away, leaving them wondering: Who might be next?

Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, The Willows was influenced heavily by his own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.

Story
Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home. These shiver-inducing tales introduce listeners to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge.

The brilliance of this story is in how a normal bureaucrat, a judge in this case, has a small accident that winds up gradually taking his life. As he deals with this incident, with hope at first and then despair, he comes to terms with his family, his life, and the mediocrities that we all suffer with, except for the exceptional few. This story rings a particularly poignant note for those in early middle age facing the next part of their lives. This story is considered Tolstoy's best.

Death by execution has historically been ritualized, perhaps to absolve those accomplishing the execution from guilt or blame.

Mark Gatiss ( Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones) reads chilling tales by the unsung master of the classic ghost story: E. F. Benson. There's nothing sinister about a London bus. Nothing supernatural could occur on a busy train platform. There's nothing terrifying about a little caterpillar. And a telephone, what could be scary about that? Don't be frightened of the dark corners of your room. Don't be alarmed by a sudden inexplicable chill.

Story
H.P. Lovecraft never found fame during his lifetime and died in 1937 in relative obscurity. But in the decades that followed his death, his importance as a unique and original visionary in the genre of science fantasy and 'weird fiction' has grown monumentally, so that even talents such as author Stephen King and film-maker John Carpenter have described him as a prime influence upon their creative lives. Here, then, is a selection of his stories.

Written at the start of the Great War, when his son Borys was at the Western Front, The Shadow-Line is Conrad's supreme effort to open man's eyes to the meaning of war through the stimulus of art. In many ways an autobiographical narrative, this masterpiece of his final period relates the story of a young and inexperienced sea captain whose first command finds him with a ship becalmed in tropical seas and a crew smitten with fever.

When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places. But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

Story
In Algernon Blackwood's "The Willows," two friends are swept into a chilling voyage down the River Danube, where the elements seem eerily alive. As the wind whispers, shadows contort, and willows throb with menace, they grapple with encroaching terror and a friendship under strain. Engulfed by the supernatural, they touch the brink of an "unearthly" dimension, a haunting realm where reality intertwines with the spirits of the willows themselves. This masterpiece uncovers the terror of the unknown and nature's sublime power.

Well-read, but not "performed."
I recommend this audiobook. However, I have a small detraction: I prefer audiobooks where the reader gives each character distinctive vocal properties, and where the action can be felt in the intonation of the words, as though the reader were performing onstage. That is not exactly the case with this one. The reader's Australian accent works, but I would rather have heard the characters speak in a voice more appropriate to the North American wilderness setting. Nonetheless, as I listened , I became more involved in the story than in the production. I was able to feel the suspense, the mystery, and the terror that the author intended. I ended up feeling that I had been on the adventure.

Just perfect spooky awe myth tale
I think this is far better than the more acclaimed “the Willows” by Blackwood. To me it never came across effectively. Did I miss something? But Wendigo delivers. Mythology, alone in the not so empty woods, guns because something is out there. Well told now also.

Great Build Up, But Ending Seems to be Missing Something
This book was written perfectly to set up one hell of an ending, but, to me, I felt it missed the mark. Maybe that was the author’s intention, to leave the reader on somewhat of a cliff hanger, but it would have been amazing to see what happened after the characters made the discovery and what they did with that information.

Just the meat and potatoes
My PTSD from watching the excessively horrifying (and needlessly upsetting) Pet Sematary at a young age is what eventually led me to discover The Wendigo. I ordered a collection of Blackwood's, hoping to better understand my own childhood trauma gained from that filthily scary Stephen King story. What I found was that, not only is Algernon Blackwood's Wendigo story fantastic, but almost everything of his I've read is f****** adoreable. There's something about the way the man writes. He's ahead of his time. You read his shit and you'd never guess it was written a century ago. There's just something so charming and intimate about his writing-- like, when you read him, you feel like you're being caressed while someone is shampooing your hair, all while you're sitting down to a succulent slice of veal and mashed potatoes, smothered in a rich homemade gravy. His narration is so pleasant and naked, but it doesn't feel like hand holding or coddling-- it feels like a partnership-- like you're riding horses with your fat buddy who laughs a lot on a sunny day, and he happens to tell you ghost stories, with a rare knack for details and honesty.
Blackwood's The Wendigo centers on the demonic creature and myth of Native American, the Wendigo, which is a spirit or creature which, without giving too much away, has to do with cold places, cannibalism, and some kinda madness. Images of a deer like creature or an incredibly tall, gaunt-faced famished man with skin stretched tight over the body are what come to mind for most when the name Wendigo is mentioned, but Blackwood's approach to the story focuses on a group of campers in the north of North America, and one man's frighteningly weird case of possession after a Wendigo encounter. Oh, those "feet of fire!" It's a fantastically creepy story and like with most Blackwood, it's what's not said that is scary, but what isn't said-- that restraint seems to be the most reliably entertaining component in horror story telling and Blackwood has a knack for it that must have soaked into Lovecraft and others who followed in his footsteps. If you like ghost stories out in the woods, this is a damned good campfire story. Not sure if an Aussie narrator was the best choice, and this is far from Algernon Blackwood's best stories but one of my personal favorites due to my interest in the material. Please be cognizant of that particular bias because it's kind of a big deal.
In some ways, this story just doesn't do it for me. Like, the scariness of the Wendigo, and the potential for atmospheric horror-- these things feel like missed opportunities because the story unfolds more as weird than as scary. That said, I think this would have been a great story to have within King's "Pet Sematary" novel, like something Judd tells Louis. Can't you hear old Fred Gwynne doing it? "Lewis. I shouldn't tell ya this story, but here it is. A hundred ago, there was a huntin' party struck outa Ludlow. Aya. Right here outa Ludlow..." and et cetera.
