Dramatization
Algernon Blackwood’s 1907 novella, described by H P Lovecraft as the best supernatural tale in the English language, is read by Roger Allam for BBC Radio 7 and adapted as a radio drama for BBC Radio 4 by Stef Penney.
Bill Pullman (Independence Day) and Julian Sands (A Room With A View) play two old friends who take a midsummer canoe trip down the Danube. Since they last met they’ve been through a war and a flu pandemic, but now life is opening up again and this river trip is a balm for the soul, at least at first.
Before long, they find themselves in a dreamy, shifting landscape of sandbanks and half-submerged forests of willows. They camp for the night on an island in the middle of the marshes but soon strange things begin to happen. The river seems to claw away the banks making the island smaller, eerie sounds are heard on the wind, and they feel a mounting sense of dread.
By morning, their canoe and oars have inexplicably been damaged. Marooned on this ever-shifting island of willow bushes, they find themselves menaced by forces they cannot understand.

Hikers in the US have found human remains near the area where British actor Julian Sands disappeared.
Identification should be completed next week, the San Bernardino County sheriff’s department in south California said on Saturday.
Sands, 65, disappeared on 13 January while hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, north of Los Angeles.
He is best known for his roles in the Oscar-winning film A Room With A View, and the TV dramas 24 and Smallville.
His other credits included 2011’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, in which he appeared opposite Daniel Craig.
Sands, born in Otley, West Yorkshire, disappeared in the Baldy Bowl area during bad weather.
“Civilian hikers contacted the Fontana Sheriff’s Station after they discovered human remains in the Mt Baldy wilderness,” the sheriff’s department said.
The statement gave no other details.
Sands’s family issued a statement early this week expressing gratitude “to the search teams and coordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian”.
“We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer,” they said.
