Algernon Blackwood's 'The Wendigo' is a chilling horror classic that delves into the unsettling and mysterious realm of the supernatural. Set in the vast Canadian wilderness, the story follows a group of hunters who encounter the malevolent spirit of the Wendigo, a terrifying creature from Algonquian folklore. Blackwood's atmospheric writing and intricate descriptions create a sense of dread and foreboding, capturing the essence of cosmic horror that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. The book's exploration of the unknown and primal fears resonates with themes of isolation, the fragility of humanity, and the power of nature, making it a standout in the horror genre. Algernon Blackwood, a master of supernatural fiction, was deeply influenced by his experiences in nature and the occult. His fascination with the unknown and the subconscious mind is evident in 'The Wendigo,' adding layers of depth and complexity to the narrative. Blackwood's unique blend of psychological insight and supernatural elements sets him apart as a seminal figure in horror literature. I highly recommend 'The Wendigo' to readers who appreciate atmospheric horror, psychological depth, and thought-provoking storytelling. Blackwood's ability to tap into primal fears and evoke a sense of unease makes this classic novel a must-read for fans of the genre.

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.

THERE ARE DARK PLACES IN THE FOREST... Cold, sun-starved places where man wasn’t meant to go. But the hunters didn't—couldn’t—know that. They just knew what their leader had told them that the expedition was meant to test their mettle, to separate the men from the boys. Four men went into the forest that day, entering the valley where the ancient evil hid. And when the winds came to collect them, when the animals they slew refused to die, they quickly learned who among them was weakest and strongest. One day later, two men crawled out of the killing ground. Only to bring hell with them... WHERE THE CHILL WAITS

Miskatonic University has a long-whispered reputation of being strongly connected to all things occult and supernatural. From the faculty to the students, the fascination with other-worldly legends and objects runs rampant. So, when Carter Weston’s professor Dr. Thayerson asks him to search a nearby village for a book that is believed to control the inhuman forces that rule the Earth, Incendium Maleficarum, The Inferno of the Witch, the student doesn’t hesitate to begin the quest. Weston’s journey takes an unexpected turn, however, when he ventures into a tavern in the small town of Anchorhead. Rather than passing the evening as a solitary patron, Weston joins four men who regale him with stories of their personal experiences with forces both preternatural and damned. Two stories hit close to home as they tie the tellers directly to Weston’s current mission. His unanticipated role as passive listener proves fortuitous, and Weston fulfills his goal. Bringing the book back to Miskatonic, though, proves to be a grave mistake. Quickly, Weston realizes he has played a role in potentially opening the gate between the netherworld and the world of Man. Reversing the course of events means forgetting all he thought he knew about Miskatonic and his professor and embracing an unknown beyond his wildest imagination.

A classic tale of terror and grotesquerie by the original master of horror H. P. Lovecraft proclaimed his Dunwich Horror "so fiendish" that his editor at Weird Tales "may not dare to print it." The editor, fortunately, knew a good thing when he saw it. One of the core Cthulhu stories, The Dunwich Horror introduces us to the grim village of Dunwich, where each member of the Whateley family is more grotesque than the other. There's the grandfather, a mad old sorcerer; Lavinia, the deformed, albino woman; and Wilbur, a disgusting specimen who reaches full manhood in less than a decade. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing . . . Wilbur tracks down an original edition of the Necronomicon and breaks into a library to steal it. But his reward eludes him: he gets caught, and the result is death by guard dog. Meanwhile, left unattended, the monster at the Whateley house keeps expanding, until the farmhouse explodes and the beast is unleashed to terrorize the poor, aggrieved village of Dunwich. As chilling today as it was upon its publication in 1929, The Dunwich Horror is a horrifying masterwork by the man Stephen King called "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."
