Synopsis

The book follows Dr. Warthrop, a scientist trying to debunk theories that vampires could possibly exist. He's drawn from his research by his former fiancé, who pleads with him to save her husband from the flesh eating Wendigo. Not believing that such a creature could exist, Warthrop ventures out and succeeds in saving his ex's husband, only for the man to then transform into a Wendigo himself. Warthrop and Will Henry are then forced to hunt and destroy the creature.

Reception

Critical reception for The Curse of the Wendigo has been mostly positive and the book received starred positive reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, and Booklist. The School Library Journal commented that the book worked well as a standalone text and the reviewer marked it as one of her favorite book reads for 2010. HorrorNews.net gave a more mixed review, saying that it "may not be as good as The Monstrumologist or really even a worthy follow up, but it is a book that deserves to have a second look if you did not like it after the first read like I did."
