“It certainly was cold.” A man ventures alone deep into the heart of the Yukon in the dead of winter during a bitter cold snap. Arrogant, he is heedless of the warnings given to him by others of the dangers of traveling without a trail mate. What follows is a classic cautionary tale of hubris.

Jack London’s masterful short story of one man’s fight to survive has chilled generations of readers. Now, Root & Twig Sounds presents this story of man facing nature’s power through the immersive experience of a soundscape audiobook. Read and performed by Phil Dragash and featuring original music by Alexander Amadeo.
