Unfortunately the camp seems to be haunted by a terrible past that has come back to take them out one-by-one.
Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/4
I have searched for a great summer camp slasher horror book - a book that brings back the nostalgia of 80s slasher movies. I have found that book.
This author knows all the tropes and both uses them, and purposely sharp turns away from them, with great effect. I found myself routing for a bunch of the characters, and the story rounded them out just enough before they met their doom. Overall this was great fun, spooky, and exactly what I was looking for.
