Two men camping on a willow island in the Danube discover that the place does not want them there, and nothing they can name is wrong. Lovecraft called it the finest supernatural tale in English; nothing is ever explained and nothing needs to be. The Garden of Survival, written a decade later, is its opposite: a widower's letter about a presence in a garden that comes not to frighten but to console.
