No worries, it won't end up on the poll.

[Char]

[Rachel]

I'll second The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood. I've never read any of his work, and this story is public domain. Ease of access is always nice. :)

+1.

[Jon Recluse]

As much as I admire Blackwood, are you all sure about picking a short story for this month's read?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm fine with it being a short story, especially since we have two group reads each month.

I voted for The Manitou, but I just checked my state library's ILL database, and none of the libraries have it. I don't want to buy it, so I'll be voting for something else in the poll. The Wendigo being free for Kindle is a big plus for my budget minded self :-).

Makes sense to me.

[Latasha]

It doesn’t matter to me.

My thoughts exactly. For some reason my library had like every other book by Graham Masterton available for order except The Manitou. 🤷🏻

Aww, that's a bummer!

[Melanie]

I voted The Nestling which is available on kindle, The Wendigo is also narrated on YT.

[Luis]

Also The Manitou by Graham Masterton.

[Nicole]

Definitely The Trickster by Muriel Gray.

[Linda]

I nominate
Skeleton Man
By Joseph Bruchac

Cracking read

[Latasha]

Omg that reminds me of a story my mom use to tell me & my sister when we were really, really little. She called him Bloody Bones. He lived under a house and got everyone until a axe wielding Mom saves the whole family.
We would all get up to send Dad off to work and she’s tell us this story when we laid back down. I don’t remember being in school.... so I was that young. I always thought Mom made it up.

[Jon Recluse]
