DESCRIPTION:
Algonquin legend tells of the Wendigo, an evil spirit sent to punish mankind. Now, John is sure that what is stalking the inhabitants of their remote outpost is a Wendigo, even if no one else believes it. And the only tracks they can find are massive footprints that couldn’t possibly be human. All are in danger of the Wendigo’s endless hunger, but how do you find a creature that can look like anyone until it’s too late?. It can possess a person and turn them into a monstrous creature consumed by a need to eat human flesh. For John Bear the Wendigo was merely a scary story his grandfather used to tell him.

Excellent book! Great characters and storytelling Scott Excellent book! Great characters and storytelling. Suspense keep me awake!. M. King said It's a bore fest.
