Al evocar las misteriosas fuerzas espirituales de la naturaleza, los escritos de Algernon Blackwood habitan la nebulosa frontera entre la fantasía, el asombro, la maravilla y el terror. Del autor de Los sauces y El Wendigo, he aquí una exquisita antología donde figuran relatos monumentales, muchos de los cuales habían permanecido —inexplicablemente— inéditos en español."Blackwood es el absoluto e incuestionable maestro de la atmósfera fantástica… Su genio es indiscutible, pues nadie se ha aproximado a la destreza, seriedad y minuciosa fidelidad con la que él registra los tonos de extrañeza en ámbitos y experiencias ordinarias, o la notable perspicacia con la que construye detalle por detalle todas las percepciones que llevan de la realidad hacia una visión sobrenatural… Sus obras alcanzan un nivel genuinamente clásico, y evocan como ninguna otra cosa en literatura un sobrecogedor y convincente sentido de la inmanencia de extrañas entidades y esferas espirituales." H.P. Lovecraft «Blackwood es, sin lugar a dudas, la figura central de la literatura británica sobrenatural del siglo veinte.» New York Review of Books"Seguimos lo bastante cerca de los días primitivos con su terror a la oscuridad para que la razón pueda abdicar sin resistirse con demasiada violencia… Estos relatos vieron su nacimiento acompañado de un delicioso estremecimiento." Algernon Blackwood

The Willows is one of Blackwood's best known works and has been influential on a number of later writers. Horror author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature. Throughout the story Blackwood personifies the surrounding environment—river, sun, wind—and imbues them with a powerful and ultimately threatening character. 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.» – Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the Danube River. After managing to land their canoe for the evening, during the night and into the next day and night, the mysterious, hostile forces emerge in force, including large, dark shapes that seem to trace the consciousness of the two men… Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre.

Though Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. Good examples are the novels The Centaur, which climaxes with a traveler's sight of a herd of the mythical creatures; and Julius LeVallon and its sequel The Bright Messenger, which deal with reincarnation and the possibility of a new, mystical evolution in human consciousness.
