I only downloaded this story because I had the misfortune to read a bad graphic novel adaptation of it by Nicolás Lepka called Wendigo. I was curious to see if the problem lay with the source material or the adapter, and it seems to be Lepka.
This version is a mediocre horror story that relies more on atmosphere than in-your-face horror as the presence of the monstrous Wendigo is more felt than seen. Lepka, meanwhile, turns it into a literal monster story with the Wendigo appearing on page after page flitting about.
If you are tempted to try one or the other, I'd go with this one, but keep in mind it is steeped in racism against Black and Indigenous people. That's more unpleasant than any of its intended horrors. ( )
