The Willows by Algernon Blackwood
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
Full disclosure, I'm setting this down purely because of the "editor." From her incomprehensible introduction to her inane footnotes (on page 1 she felt the need to inform us that the author and narrator are both English and that it is unlikely that the Swedish companion would use an English word to describe the riverbed), Ruthanna Emrys needs to have her proverbial mic taken away. And the footnotes can't even be ignored because they take up half the page! I thought I could keep going for a good chuckle, but honestly it's just offensive after a while. I'll find another edition!
