In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

And yet authors manage to record and create fragile libraries of humanity, its talents, its dreams and increasingly its nightmares.

Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

In the heart of the vast and untamed wilderness along the Danube River, two friends embark on a seemingly tranquil canoe trip. As they navigate the river’s meandering paths, they decide to camp on a remote, desolate island, thick with ominous willows swaying in the relentless wind. Yet, what starts as an idyllic adventure quickly spirals into a nightmarish struggle for survival.

During a canoe trip on the Danube, two men are forced to stop on an island due to the current. What was supposed to be a peaceful temporary camping experience turns into a disturbing and supernatural ordeal: the willows covering the island seem to move and whisper in the wind, giving the impression of being alive; the presence of hostile and terrifying invisible entities is perceived, casting doubt on every capacity for rational thought.

The author once worked as a dairy farmer in Canada, but returned to his home in Kent, near London, and became a broadcaster, journalist, novelist, and short story writer. He specialized in tales of the supernatural and was described as “Unquestioned master of weird atmosphere,” as he told of incredible adventures. He often used first person narrations, as you will hear … and, very likely feel an abnormal phantom presence. Come along … If you dare!

nos ubica en una región perdida del Danubio, donde dos viajeros dejan atrás la civilización para descubrir una realidad inquietante, oscura, siniestra, donde la naturaleza expresa su faceta más hostil: los árboles, y más precisamente los sauces, adquieren entonces la gloria de antaño. Sus siluetas retorcidas, oscuras, recortadas contra la noche, parecen moverse sigilosamente en la niebla.

Trata sobre en este caso un ser que habita en lo profundo de una tierra poco explorara, una representación de la llamada de la naturaleza que puede llevarnos a la locura.

Durante un viaggio in canoa sul Danubio, due uomini sono costretti a fermarsi su un'isola a causa della corrente. Quello che doveva essere un tranquillo campeggio temporaneo si trasforma in un'esperienza inquietante e soprannaturale: i salici che ricoprono l'isola sembrano muoversi e bisbigliare, al soffio del vento, dando l'impressione di essere vivi; si percepisce la presenza di entità ostili invisibili e spaventose, che mettono in dubbio ogni capacità di raziocinio.

John Silence: casos psíquicos do Doutor Extraordinário"" é a tradução completa do livro lançado em 1908, com cartazes em ônibus por toda Londres. O personagem marcou a carreira de Algernon Blackwood e o colocou no patamar de especialista do sobrenatural.

Deep in the remote Canadian wilderness, a group of moose hunters make their way further into the woods. Rumors of a terrifying human-like monster that lurks in the forest are dismissed as mere “superstitions.” But, as their isolation becomes more apparent, they begin to smell something foul and feel shadows creeping in on them like slow death. After having “seen the Wendigo”, how long will they be able to survive?

H.P. Lovecraft considered The Willows to be "the finest supernatural tale in English literature", and its appeal is obvious. In his tale of an adventurous duo who embark on a seemingly innocuous river trip down the Danube, Blackwood personifies the desolate willows to be ominous, alive, and menacing. The river itself brims with human passions, and the elemental winds and heavenly forces all combine to create a sense of a supernatural intelligence orchestrating it all.
