First Sentence
After leaving Vienna, and long before you come to Budapest, the Danube enters a region of singular loneliness and desolation, where its waters spread away on all sides regardless of a main channel, and the country becomes a swamp for miles upon miles, covered by a vast sea of low willow-bushes.

Excellent Edition, and for Free!, May 5 2009
By B. I SIMPSON "beckoningchasm" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
As a recent purchaser of a Kindle, I naturally wanted some content, but felt somewhat bewhildered by the vast range of pricing--from free to relatively expensive--for what appeared to be identical works. In order to test the "free" works, I decided to download Algernon Blackwood's short novel, "The Willows," fully cognizant of the old adage that one gets what one pays for.Well, the edition here is superb. No misspellings or misplaced punctuation that I saw; the only flaws were a handful of missing paragraph indentations, and they did not interfere with the flow of the story. I heartily commend those who took the time to transcribe this story for their excellent work.
As for the story itself, it remains a very unnerving read. Like Lovecraft, Blackwood spends most of the time building up a near palpable atmosphere of dread, with only a few fitful sightings to give shape to that dread. "The Willows" remains one of his best tales, and this edition is highly recommended.

Patricia Watson Barrington Hills, Ill, Nov 24 2010
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Found this to be a wonderful and quick read for those who enjoy classic horror of times now past. There is no gore, no slashing, no blood: just pure exciting and well done storytelling.
