Summary
Another camper tale, this time set in the Canadian wilderness. A hunting party separates to track moose, and one member is abducted by the Wendigo of legend. Robert Aickman regarded this as "one of the (possibly) six great masterpieces in the field". (Introduction by Wikipedia)

Great piece! It was easy to follow, beautifully written, and very unsettling. The narrator was absolutely wonderful. Her voice was clear and crisp. Overall, an enjoyable listen.

The subject matter of the Wendigo has seen a number of treatments, but I think this may well be the best. The story is vividly told, both horrifying and engaging. Amy Gramour has good diction and good voice. Sh also gives a little bit of a performance, which not all LibriVox readers do.

Haunting story that sticks with you.

Loved the sad tale. Interesting story of woe and terror. She told the story in her hypnotic voice for me.

I like the story it wasn't horror really; more like suspense and mystery type of story.

Classic horror story that still delivers!

Very boring, there was nothing exciting. I think the name is misleading. Where were the Wenigo’s. There were none. Did not like. Would not recommend

It was fascinating, almost could believe it was based on a true story. Very scary!

Great read.gripping story line

Profile Avatar Fosterwife1 Jan 2023

I could barely suffer through the first part of the first chapter. Ugh. I had to quit. Nothing grabbed me. I was actually annoyed with the style of writing, even the narrator tried to be interesting, but you can only work with what you’re given and it just gave nothing.

Racism in the first 5 minutes… not a good surprise.

Profile Avatar uncle808us Nov 2022

It was an OK listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2021

Not the most interesting story and the narrator was annoying at times

Profile Avatar Les Baker Nov 2021

This tale disappointed me. I expected a story as awesome as "The Willow". Not so. This one dragged on. I was happy when it finally concluded! Narration was good.

the story sets up the wilderness perfectly as one of the key characters and the atmosphere is such that you could almost imagine your amongst the characters in this story except the narrator never seems to give proper emphasis for what's going on in the story she's very flat and almost monotone but she keeps a good pace so you just start to feel like you're overhearing somebody talking about a very boring experience.

Boring to listen to.

Profile Avatar ICE MAN Mar 2021

Good story well narrated. Felt like I was standing there looking at that bed of fresh bows

Profile Avatar Wesley R. Aug 2020

Too slow. I couldn’t continue to listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2020

Whilst the story line was interesting I found the wording rather unnecessarily complex and over descriptive.

Profile Avatar Devinne M. Jan 2020

This was an interesting listen. the story was engaging, creepy, and a good length. If anyone is looking for an eerie folklore story I recommend The Wendigo.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2018

Not bad. Not great either. Narration was just not engaging enough for me, could just be the story though.

Profile Avatar Marianne m Apr 2018

OK for a short story.
