The Wendigo — Algernon Blackwood

Algernon Blackwood's The Wendigo is a chilling ghost story about five men lost in the Canadian wilderness. While separated into two hunting parties a terror befalls one pair of the hunters. An ancient evil of the primeval woods pays a visit on them…

“For sheer naked concentrated horror, unexplained and unexplainable, such tales as The Wendigo ... may be said to lead among the stories of the supernatural.”
