About this book

A moose-hunting party splits into pairs deep in the Ontario bush, and the French Canadian guide Défago spends the night with a client who wakes to an empty tent and a voice calling from the trees. Blackwood knew this country. He had worked and gone hungry in Canada as a young man, and the novella carries the specific loneliness of ground too large to notice you. What follows is one of the great pieces of wilderness horror: tracks that stretch and change shape, a man who comes back wrong, and a name the lumbermen will not say aloud. Blackwood never gives you a clear look at the thing, which is exactly why it has lasted since 1910. Free PDF and EPUB copies are here to download.
