I would have given this a higher rating but there were some parts that dragged on a bit. The Willows world and the climax really stuck out to me and the imagery was so good

I want to read the Algernon Blackwood piece mentioned in the author notes at the end now

Edit
I’ve read The Willows by Algernon Blackwood and I’m increasing this a bit for a higher score because I realized after finishing that it gave me what my brain wanted which was more of the Willows world
