"The Wendigo" is a horror novella by Algernon Blackwood, first published in
1910. The story is set in the wilderness of Northwestern Ontario, where two
Scotsmen, Simpson and his uncle Dr. Cathcart, are on a moose-hunting trip with
guides Hank Davis and Joseph Défago. While camping, Défago senses a strange
and fearful odor on the wind, and later runs off into the night, forcing
Simpson to go and look for him. Simpson follows his footprints in the snow for
many miles, realizing that Défago's are not the only set of tracks.
Eventually, both sets of tracks vanish, and Simpson believes he hears Défago's
distant voice calling out from somewhere in the sky above. The story ends with
the three men left in a state of bafflement and uncertainty about what has
occurred. The novella has been praised for its sheer naked concentrated
horror, and its influence can be seen in various works of horror fiction,
including H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and the horror anthology Scary
Stories to Tell in the Dark.
