Wendigo is about fear, encountering the cannibals in life. Along this journey we find these same cannibals in ourselves and strength in conquering them. Wendigo connects the vibrancy of nature to heartache, loss, joy, and loneliness and the reality of disenchantment.
Katie Metcalfe's latest book of poems explores the rhythms of life and death through folklore, the occult, the unfamiliar and habitual.Words from the author:'The title My Father The Wendigo is taken from one of my favourite poems in the collection, where a young boy's father heads into the forest to collect his fur trapping bounty, and returns home changed...The collection is especially varied, and hosts dozens of poems exploring subjects and themes which fascinate me, from paying homage to deeply misunderstood creatures, to reflecting on seeing my child for the first time via ultrasound.'

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.
Margaret Atwood's witty and informative book focuses on the imaginative mystique of the wilderness of the Canadian North. She discusses the 'Grey Owl Syndrome' of white writers going native; the folklore arising from the mysterious-- and disastrous -- Franklin expedition of the nineteenth century; the myth of the dreaded snow monster, the Wendigo; the relations between nature writing and new forms of Gothic; and how a fresh generation of women writers in Canada have adapted the imagery of the Canadian North for the exploration of contemporary themes of gender, the family and sexuality. Writers discussed include Robert Service, Robertson Davies, Alice Munro, E.J. Pratt, Marian Engel, Margaret Laurence, and Gwendolyn MacEwan. This superbly written and compelling portrait of the mysterious North is at once a fascinating insight into the Canadian imagination, and an exciting new work from an outstanding literary presence.

In the morning the camp was astir before the sun. There had been a light fall of snow during the night and the air was sharp. Punk had done his duty betimes, for the odors of coffee and fried bacon reached every tent. All were in good spirits. "Wind's shifted!" cried Hank vigorously, watching Simpson and his guide already loading the small canoe. "It's across the lake—dead right for you fellers. And the snow'll make bully trails! If there's any moose mussing around up thar, they'll not get so much as a tail-end scent of you with the wind as it is. Good luck, Monsieur Défago!" he added, facetiously giving the name its French pronunciation for once, "bonne chance!" Défago returned the good wishes, apparently in the best of spirits, the silent mood gone. Before eight o'clock old Punk had the camp to himself, Cathcart and Hank were far along the trail that led westwards, while the canoe that carried Défago and Simpson, with silk tent and grub for two days, was already a dark speck bobbing on the bosom of the lake, going due east. The wintry sharpness of the air was tempered now by a sun that topped the wooded ridges and blazed with a luxurious warmth upon the world of lake and forest below; loons flew skimming through the sparkling spray that the wind lifted; divers shook their dripping heads to the sun and popped smartly out of sight again; and as far as eye could reach rose the leagues of endless, crowding Bush, desolate in its lonely sweep and grandeur, untrodden by foot of man, and stretching its mighty and unbroken carpet right up to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay....

Yet, ever at the back of his thoughts, lay that other aspect of the wilderness: the indifference to human life, the merciless spirit of desolation which took no note of man... "His stories are of things unearthly and of beings and events impossible, but he writes of them with such poetry and such illusive power that no one of us can say, during the reading or after the reading of them, that such things cannot be. Mr. Blackwood does not hypnotize us by his verbal magic. He has no sleight of hand with words. He convinces us for all time, and therein lies his literary art and his imaginative power." -Boston Transcript "Always there is the artistic restraint, the touch of a genuine poetic feeling which lifts even such bit of hideous superstition as that which forms the keynote of 'The Windigo' into the realm of beauty." -The New York Times "No recent author has approached Algernon Blackwood in fineness of imagination as applied to the unseen and uncanny side of life." -Outlook "Mr. Blackwood has always used his occult knowledge of imaginings rather seriously, sometimes with a definitely moral purpose." -The London Times "Mr. Blackwood has never 'written down,' never lowered the high standards of his fine and beautiful art." -The New York Times Book Review
