Description
In this haunting novel, Ann Tracy evokes the bleak landscape of the Canadian North and the chilling legend of the Windigo. At Wino Day Lake we meet Alan, a would-be anthropologist, who ventures into northern Manitoba with his wife Diana and his young child Cam, to study the food-gathering patterns of three native communities. But as the darkness of winter overcomes the light, Alan discovers a savage landscape which abhors a human presence and the legend of the mysterious Windigo.
