Summary

"The Wendigo" by Algernon Blackwood is a chilling tale of supernatural terror, first published in 1910. Set in the remote Canadian wilderness, the story follows a hunting party led by Dr. Cathcart and his companions as they venture deep into the forest. When one of their guides, the experienced but superstitious Defago, begins to act strangely, the group finds themselves confronted by an ancient, malevolent force: the Wendigo, a legendary creature born of isolation and hunger. 
Blending eerie atmosphere, psychological tension, and vivid descriptions of nature’s vastness, Blackwood crafts a haunting exploration of the human psyche and the primal fears that lurk in the wild. This classic tale is a cornerstone of supernatural horror and a must-read for fans of the genre.
