Summary

Spellbinding adventure from Canada’s most beloved modern-day explorer.

Traverspine is not a place you will find on most maps. A century ago, it stood near the foothills of the remote Mealy Mountains in central Labrador. Today it is an abandoned ghost town, almost all trace of it swallowed up by dark spruce woods that cloak millions of acres.

Critics Review

PRAISE FOR THE WHISPER ON THE NIGHT WIND:

“A fantastic, fun, and chilling tale.”
Canadian Geographic

“Modern-day explorer Adam Shoalts … reminds us that our world is full of mystery, possibility and awe.”
—CBC

“It is a spooky read, and after finishing it you might want to take a few days off before heading back into the wilderness … a page turner for sure.”
—Kevin Callan, Explore Magazine

“The place they end up is so isolated and untravelled that it could give the yips to even the most seasoned explorer. Shoalts is precise in his descriptions of setting and his writing is filled with … a clever, intentional use of language that heightens tension and lets a creepiness seep into the narrative.”
Quill and Quire

“Like something out of Lovecraft… . He writes like an explorer of old… . [T]hrilling and sometimes unsettling.”
Book City

“[Adam Shoalts] continues to go where his curiosity pulls him—often into uncomfortable places we might not go ourselves—and is more than happy to bring us along in the recounting. Spine-tingling … captivating.”
Sudbury Star

“He’s a great writer… [E]nthralling … [H]is use of language keeps you glued to the page.”
—Mysterious Universe Podcast

“This book tweaks Shoalts’ previous formula in all the right ways—the addition of another person allows for cheeky banter to pepper the narrative … All this is couched in what you expect from Adam Shoalts’ adventure books: an exciting wilderness expedition, which is capped off with a satisfying conclusion to the mystery.”
The Book Lady


“If mysterious, unexplained tracks in the deepest of woods and a bold, hair-raising attempt to uncover the truth behind a century-old Labrador legend sound like just the kind of thrill you’re after, then… . [read The Whisper on the Night Wind].”
