From Little Stack
In the summer of 1983, a blood-drenched camp counselor is found on an empty country road. She’s the sole survivor of a massacre at the hands of a knife-wielding, masked maniac. Nearly ten years later, the camp is ready for a second chance. Camp Summer Fun has been refurbished and restaffed, and a busload of campers are on the way. Sheriff deputy Tom Bailey doesn’t think it’s a good idea. After all, his girlfriend was the one who barely survived the last summer at that camp. And when another attack massacres everyone except a single teen, he knows he’s right. But Mary doesn’t think the killer is human. She thinks it’s a rural legend known as the Hungry Hare. The sheriff wants to put a killer behind bars. Mary wants revenge. And Tom wants the truth. None of them realize that the murderer is close. Much closer than any of them dream.
Surviving the massacre is just the beginning in this razor-sharp summer-camp slasher with a bloody twist from horror master Craig DiLouie.
It’s 1992, and in the heat of Texas, camp Summer Fun rests by a crystalline lake surrounded by a shady forest. The counselors have set out the kayaks, prepped the kitchens, and refurbished the cabins. Now, on the night before camp begins, a bonfire and the teenage counselors’ rites of passage await.
But the camp has a horrifying history. In the ’80s, there was a massacre that left a sole survivor. One final girl. The killer never caught.
Deputy Tom Bailey is always on edge this time of year. There are rumors that the woods are haunted. That the killer might one day return. Tom has deeply personal ties to the ’80s massacre, and those ties have plagued his dreams.
Then Tom gets a call reporting bloodcurdling screams coming from the camp. The real nightmare is just beginning . . . .
