About this listen
Enjoy a classic horror story that begins with a hair-raising "Canadian canoe" trip down the flooded Danube. The float trip lands two adventurers on a willow-covered island in the stream, amid sharp shale, rapids, rain, and howling winds. Disastrous erosion and danger soon engulfs the two men. But the campers survive a murderous attempt to secretly scuttle their canoe and steal their food supplies.
When they hide from the perpetrators amid the heavy storm on their small, fast-disintegrating island, the campers also hear voices and gong-like dronings over the willows. Then they try to dodge detection from the aliens seeking to obliterate them, but it soon becomes apparent the outsiders are searching to make a human sacrifice.
It goes from bad to worse, though, as the willows themselves seem to draw ever closer after dark, until one of the Ancient Ones actually locates these terrified, menaced campers and rushes forward to seize and destroy them. But how can they escape without a paddle for their canoe, or food, or fuel, and with nothing ahead for the next 50 miles but willow and rapids?

A Good One!
I was not familiar with this chat-type format and at first, wasn't sure I was going to like it. But it grew on me, and I began to realize it's actually quite a great format, as it compacts the most important parts. Now the story itself is quite interesting too. Two friends go on a canoe trip and where they landed, things began to happen to around them. One continued to try to justify what was happening, the boat scraped, the paddle damaged, strange ground markings, etc. The Swede, was figuring out what was going on... And I won't tell the rest of the story because I'm not going to be a spoiler.
This is a short and entertaining audiobook that you will enjoy as it will keep you wanting to listen to the end. The narration was excellent as well. Well done!
