He loved the trees the way a lover loves . . . And perhaps they loved him, too. Not wisely -- and too well.

Format:Hardcover
this is a story about a man with a special form of contact with the woods. that's it, actually. supernatural, not horror. good descriptions. B. is always great at decribing nature and it's lure, and how man is drawn to it. but nothing much happens, and some of the dialogue is unnecessary. (the story is actually a short story)

Haunting story, very well written

I've enjoyed Algernon Blackwood stories for a long time. This is one of my favorites. Re-reading it on my Kindle was a wonderful experience. His writing style is easy-going, and he allows the reader to "see" into the characters. The descriptions of the forests and trees were spooky, and the interaction between the main characters was so poignant. Not a long story, but one you will remember.

A subtle "weird story" that satisfies to the end.

Out of the 250+ short stories and novellas, there is a reason why Blackwood's "The Man Whom the Trees Loved" is available (for free) in the Kindle store -- it is a classic "weird story." Like a fine wine, or good food, this story should be read slowly, without rush. There are no monsters, or horrors to overcome within the novella, only the growing knowledge of the man's relationship to the trees. After my last reading of the text I realized that the story is just as much about the wife as the man -- what she has to go through as the man passes over more and more to the influence of the forest. Maybe a better name for this story might be: "The Man Whom the Trees Loved, and the Wife Who Loved Him." This novella is highly recommended.
