Pros
- *The Willows* and *The Wendigo* by Algernon Blackwood don't suffer from the aforementioned issue despite being older.
- The two big classics are "The Willows" and "The Wendigo", but honestly most of his stories are fantastic.
- "The Wendingo" is on pair imho.
- I immediately went on to The Wendigo. It’s also excellent, but I found The Willows to dig itself a little deeper under my skin.
- One of my all-time favorite stories by my favorite writer! You might also enjoy The Man Whom the Trees Loved, as well as The Wendigo.
Cons
- "The Willows" and "The Wendigo" by Algernon Blackwood
- It's a real shame that Wendigo is named as it is. Its legacy should be that of great wilderness horror, but now it's mainly a prime example of bad cultural appropriation.
