A new edition of Algernon Blackwood's classic horror novella, The Wendigo, first published in 1910 in the larger collection The Lost Valley and Other Stories. Deep in the wilderness of northern Canada, divinity student Simpson and his uncle, Dr. Cathcart, an author of a book on collective hallucination, go on a moose-hunting trip with the held of their local guides, before things take a dramatic and horrifying turn. The Wendigo is considered to be one of the greatest supernatural horror stories ever written and remains popular with modern audiences.<br/><br/>Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English journalist, novelist, and short-story writer, remembered as one of the most prolific and most celebrated writers of ghost, horror, and "weird" stories during the early 20th century. Among his most popular works are the novellas The Wendigo, The Willows, the novel The Centaur, the John Silence stories, and his collection Incredible Adventures, considered by some critics to be the "premier weird collection of" all time.
