About this audiobook
An abandoned house whose horrific past is re-enacted for those who dare visit; a terrifying trip down the Danube River; a malevolent half-beast creature who abducts a member of a hunting party; and a tale of paranoia, mental deterioration and all-consuming feelings of doom: here are four feverish, spine-tingling tales that will chill the blood and make the flesh creep. The collection includes: The Empty House, The Willows, The Listener and The Wendigo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book includes four longer works by horror master Alegron Blackwood. While a bit long winded by today's standards each of these stories really have stood the test of time. They evoke an atmosphere of dread and unease that I find mostly lacking in the modern stuff. The influence on later authors like H.P. Lovecraft is obvious. The Willows was my favorite piece followed by The Empty House. The narration by Hugh Ross was good.
