It was originally published in the 1910 collection “The Lost Valley and Other Stories” which I’ve placed a link to in the show notes. The story involves a hunting party that gets separated in the Canadian wilderness in search for moose. One of the party members is abducted by the legendary Wendigo. Fellow author Robert Aickman once said of the story, it’s "...one of the (possibly) six great masterpieces in the field". Here’s hoping you agree with him.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Lead-In00:02:32.616 = Show Open00:04:33.284 = A Brief Look At The Author00:07:38.615 = The Wendigo, Part 100:22:54.738 = The Wendigo, Part 200:48:19.248 = The Wendigo, Part 301:09:00.423 = The Wendigo, Part 401:33:13.209 = The Wendigo, Part 501:54:15.127 = The Wendigo, Part 602:00:44.066 = Show Close02:01:49.052 = BloopersSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…Episode Page at WeirdDarkness.com: https://weirddarkness.com/TheWendigo“The Wendigo” by Algernon Blackwood: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/n8bff63y=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
