'John Silence' Summary
Dr. John Silence, a physician with an unusual ability to communicate with the dead, is confronted with a series of unsettling cases involving the supernatural. In "The Willows" he faces an ancient entity that manipulates reality and plays with the sanity of its victims. "The Man Whom the Trees Loved" explores the terrifying connection between a man and the forest surrounding his isolated country home.
