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.

In the heart of the vast and untamed wilderness along the Danube River, two friends embark on a seemingly tranquil canoe trip.

The collection includes "The Empty House," "The Willows," "The Listener", and "The Wendigo".
