Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy horror that's more darkly funny than gore-soaked, with a manager-trying-to-do-her-job energy that grounds the chaos.
  • You loved Welcome to Night Vale or Grady Hendrix's blend of creepy-cosy atmosphere with genuine dread underneath.
  • You appreciate folklore-based horror where the rules actually matter and breaking them has consequences that stick with you.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need pure jump-scares and intense action; this is atmospheric and plot-driven, not relentlessly tense.
  • You want a romance subplot; Kate's story is entirely about survival and family curses, not love.
  • You're squeamish about body horror; decapitation and exsanguination are mentioned as part of the campground's routine.

About this book

Kate manages Goat Valley Campground, a property that has killed members of her family for generations. The land hosts creatures from folklore and horror that use it as a hunting ground. Kate enforces strict rules to protect campers: accept a drink from the man with the skull cup or face gruesome death; avoid buying ice from children without a wagon; never follow the lights. Despite these warnings, some campers ignore the rules and do not survive their stays. As decapitated and exsanguinated campers accumulate, Kate faces a larger threat: a dangerous inhabitant of the campground determined to claim the land for himself. At the same time, something in the land is shifting, the tides are turning, and a curse targeting her bloodline begins to close in on her.
