This horror short opens with Thomas explaining how his life was turned upside down when his beloved girlfriend, Keziah, was bitten by a vampire. Gemma Farrow tells the tale in a quiet noir tone that immediately draws the reader into the story and the emotions of Thomas: his angst, his guilt, and the creeping dread that becomes more and more urgent. You know it is a good horror read when you feel the dread in your midsection, when the fear begins to coil in your belly, and the anxiety begins to walk up your spine one vertebrae at a time. I recommend Beneath the Willow to those who enjoy horror short stories, and I will definitely be on the lookout for more from Gemma Farrow.
