Stephen King is considered the horror king by a lot of horror fans, and rightfully so. He has given us so many interesting and jaw-dropping horror stories. But there are two monsters in Stephen King's work that never fully appear on the page, and one of them is older than any story he has told about it. Yes, you guessed right. We are talking about the Wendigo. The Wendigo first showed up as a whispered explanation for why a pet cemetery in Maine turns dead things wrong, then, according to a popular fan theory, as an unnamed shape stalking a lost nine-year-old through the woods. Fans have spent decades linking it to a third story written by King that actually doesn't feature it at all. So we thought it would be the right topic to do a dissection of the actual anatomy of King's Wendigo. We will learn everything there is to know about the Wendigo and where the internet gets it wrong. So if you are ready, let's get down to it!
