Spanning five ecoregions and centuries of fascinating history, this book is a masterwork by one of Canada’s most successful and audacious authors.
The Whisper On The Night WindIn the early 1900s, Traverspine, in the Mealy Mountains in central Labrador was an isolated little settlement, and the scene of an extraordinary haunting by large creatures none could identify: strange tracks were found in the woods. Unearthly cries were heard in the night. Sled dogs went missing. Children reported being stalked by a terrifying grinning animal. In "The Whisper on the Night Wind", decorated modern-day explorer and an expert on wilderness folklore Adam Shoalts picks up the trail from a century ago and sets off to the Labrador to investigate the tale. It is a spine-tingling adventure, straight from a land steeped in legends and lore, where Vikings wandered a thousand years ago and wolves and bears still roam free.
