Deep in the Canadian backwoods, a hunting party splits up to track moose through the endless northern forest. One guide takes a client out into the trees. Neither of them comes back the same.
What begins as a simple wilderness expedition turns into something far older and stranger - a creeping dread, a smell on the wind, a voice calling from the dark, and a presence that moves through the woods on feet that barely touch the ground.
Published in 1910, The Wendigo is Algernon Blackwood at his most haunting: a slow, atmospheric tale that helped shape a century of wilderness horror and remains one of the definitive stories of the uncanny North. The trees go on forever. Something is moving between them.
