The old inn sits by a lake in an ancient forest, shrouded in mystery. Outside, a restless willow thrashes its limbs and, for a fleeting moment, a woman seems to dance in the mist. A trick of the light? Or a villi, perhaps, one of the sirens of legend, who tempt the unfaithful lover to his doom? A man would be a fool to venture out into that night--but the sultry Magda may be waiting for him, an invitation he is unable to resist. And it's only mist, isn't it...?
A short story.
Willow Weep edition by Victor J Banis Literature Fiction eBooks
Everyone is tempted by something or someone eventually. The question is, what makes one person give in while another continues to keep his or her promises?One of the most interesting parts of travelling to a new area is learning about their local myths. Brad and his bride are one of only a handful of visitors at this particular inn tonight, and their reactions to the stories that Magda, the woman who runs the establishment, tells are quite revealing. The best parts of this short story involve subtle hints about what is really going on that are tucked into otherwise ordinary conversations.
I had a hard time believing that Brad could be as naive as he was written. He consistently fails to pick up on obvious clues that not everything around him is necessarily what it appears to be. His offensive mannerisms and profound lack of curiosity about his surroundings also made it difficult for me to empathize with what happens to him. Not every character needs to be likable in order to be interesting, of course, but in this case Brad was written with such a negative slant that he comes across as very one dimensional.
The creepy atmosphere is what drew me back into the plot. Mr. Banis’ use of the extremely isolated location and poor weather conditions lends an eerie quality to this tale that drastically heightens the suspense. In some ways the setting is actually scarier than anything else the characters experience because the fog obstructs their view so completely. It’s extremely hard to know where you’re going in a thick, unrelenting fog, after all.
Willow, Weep is a solid horror tale that I would recommend to anyone who likes to be frightened but isn’t interested in the explicit violence that is so common in this genre.

Willow Weep edition by Victor J Banis Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Brad & Laura were married. There was a woman (Villi, spirits, succubus) by the lake. There were lots of tales. Magda waited on them. Brad ordered another bottle of Tokay (wine). The couple went to the room to make love. Brad forgot the wine & went back down to get it.
What role does Magda play in this short story?
A very exciting mysterious scary short story. Could make a great movie or TV series. Easy to read & follow, never a dull moment. An easy 5 star rating.
Thank you for the free short story (book)
