Algernon Blackwood's The Wendigo, Abbreviated

The clip below is an abbreviation edition of Algernon Blackwood's classic story, "The Wendigo." While there are certain atmospheric elements that can never be re-captured in shortened audio readings, this one comes closer than most others to doing Blackwood's story justice.

If you haven't yet experienced this unusual tale, then this brief recording will give you some idea of what you're missing. In fact, it's the perfect season to do it as well, with snow and frigid temperatures now so fierce in certain parts of the world that you may wonder if a Wendigo is about to come swooping downward from your own skyline. Read "The Wendigo" online, or check it out in Ancient Sorceries with these other fine Blackwood tales.
