The elusive, utterly supernatural Ithaqua roams the North Woods and the wastes beyond, as invisible as the wind. Hunters and travelers fear the cold and isolation of the North. They fear ten times more the advent of the mysterious Wind-Walker. It's malign power haunts their dreams, and its burning eyes their nightmares.
Blackwood's "Wendigo" sparked a trail of influences still apparent in horror fiction today. This collection includes that progenitor tale, three stories by August Derleth, and ten more from a spectrum of contemporary authors including Brian Lumley, Stephen Mark Rainey, and Pierre Comtois.

“The Wendigo”, by Algernon Blackwood
