'A masterpiece' Robert Macfarlane
They 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 on a canoe trip down the Danube River, navigating the tempestuous currents of the water, sun, wind and willows. Marooned on an island, they see a mysterious figure, and encounter a corpse: and become haunted by otherworldly forces emerging from within the darkness of the forest - shadows, shapes, sounds . . .
