Amidst the tranquil beauty of the Baltic archipelago, a group of campers embarks on a summer of escape and serenity. Yet, as the untamed wilderness strips away the masks of civilisation, a darker force begins to stir. Strange noises in the night, paw prints by the tents, and a pervasive unease transform their idyllic retreat into a waking nightmare. What unseen presence stalks them in this remote paradise? In this tale of mystery and growing dread, Algernon Blackwood masterfully intertwines the majesty of nature with the chilling unknown.

Algernon Blackwood (1869–1951) led a rich and varied life. Storyteller, mystic, adventurer, and radio and television personality, he is best remembered for his two superlative horror stories, “The Willows” and “The Wendigo.” But in his lifetime he wrote over 150 stories, at least a dozen novels, two plays, and quite a few children’s books as well. By the time of his death, he had become one of the greatest writers of supernatural fiction in the twentieth century.
H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant twentieth-century authors in his genre. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. His relatively small corpus of work consists of three short novels and about sixty short stories.
