The Man Whom The Trees Loved by Algernon Blackwood
A man retires to a quiet house on the edge of the forest. His days are spent among the trees, though it’s never clear whether he is drawn to them, or they to him. His wife, suspicious of the woods’ silent influence, watches as the boundaries between her husband and the forest begin to blur. What exactly do the trees want, and how far will they reach to claim it?
