130: Marvin's Tavern

The Willows written by Algernon Blackwood [1907]Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the Danube River.

Most ominous are the masses of dense, desultory, menacing willows, which "moved of their own will as though alive, and they touched, by some incalculable method, my own keen sense of the horrible."TRIGGER WARNINGS AVAILABLE AT BOTTOM OF SHOW NOTES.
