I’ve got a story out this week with the final issue of Dred Tales. You can read the entirety of Windigo Farm online, so you should get right on it right away.
I would like to make a shout-out to the illustrator (and Dred artistic director) Leo Vasilevskiy. The images of the windigo towering over the barn are amazing Halloween nighmare stuff.
Windigo Farm was one of the first stories I wrote when I began to take short story writing seriously, and it’s taken a long to get it in print. The location is more or less real, and lies about a mile from where I grew up. The main character is an homage to all the old farmers who were the backdrop to my rural upbringing. I’ve always thought that those old dairy farmers could handle anything you threw at them.
