I don't have a list of rules because I'm trying to ruin your fun...I'm trying to keep you from doing small, simple things that could result in your horrific and most agonizing demise.Goat Valley Campground has killed generations of Kate's family. The land is old, passed down through generations, but the campground's reputation doesn't just draw campers year after year. Creatures from folklore and horror have made Goat Valley not just their home, but their hunting ground.As campground manager, Kate has rules to protect her campers--if the man with the skull cup offers you a drink, accept it or you will die a gruesome death; don't buy ice from the children with no wagon; and of course, never ever follow the lights. Still, not every camper follows the rules...which means not every camper survives their stay.Soon decapitated and exsanguinated campers are the least of Kate's worries; one of the most dangerous inhabitants of the campground is determined to claim the land for himself. Meanwhile, something in the land is shifting, the tides are turning, and the curse that hunts members of her bloodline begins to close in...
Horror Book Club is CHB Lafayette's bimonthly book club focusing on horror and dark stories! A CHB Bookseller leads the discussion, and we vote at our meetings for our upcoming monthly picks.
