The Wendigo is a short and creepy horror novel set in the Canadian wilderness. It follows a hunting party who experience some strange and horrifying events.

- Despite the short length, this tale feels very fleshed out and detailed. The atmosphere created by the author is so compelling and once I started reading I found it hard to unimmerse myself from the story.

- The horror is subtly but poignant. As with any good mystery, things are hinted at and tidbits thrown in here and there. The reader is left wondering what is real and what isn't.

Compelling, creepy and atmospheric. Perfect for those who enjoy horror, short stories of a campfire-style nature or books that suck you into the scene.
