Dr. Cathcart and his nephew Mr. Simpson go on a moose hunting trip deep into the wilderness of northern Canada with their guides Hank Davis and the French Canadian Joseph D fago, along with their Indian cook, Punk. They split up to cover more ground, Dr. Cathcart with Hank and Simpson with D fago, but the rumor of a creature that wanders the wild where they are headed begins to stir in their minds. When D fago takes off unexpectedly, Simpson attempts to follow him, but D fago is so swift that he is unable to keep up. The strange tracks he leaves, however, reveal that D fago was chasing something else, something with even stranger tracks. Stranger still is the lingering scent of something unexplainable that those who have smelled it can only describe as the "odor of lions." Simpson somehow is able to make it back to the original camp alone. Dr. Cathcart and Hank are surprised to see him, especially without his guide. But when D fago returns on his own, he is somehow changed. Dr. Cathcart might know something of his condition, but it is Punk's response in the end that is most telling.

Las primeras p ginas, que narran la obsesi n de un pintor por los rboles, de los que se dir a que retrata en todo su ser y su viveza, rozan los lindes de la metaf sica, motivo de discusi n de unas tertulias de sal n progresivamente insanas.
Este mismo principio es v lido, quiz , para las casas; y el aroma de las malas acciones perpetradas bajo un determinado techo mucho despu s de haber desaparecido quienes las cometieron pone la carne de gallina y los pelos de punta.
Es sabido que el Wendigo es un esp ritu que prefiere habitar lugares solitarios, por ello suele esconderse en bosques, lo cual le permite acechar silenciosamente a su presa, nunca esta a la vista y espera el momento indicado para abalanzarse sobre ella.
