Readers Speak!
I began reading these tales of terror expecting an anthology and was enjoyably surprised by a unique twist in storytelling. A group of friends head off into the wilds on a hiking/camping weekend and sitting around the fire do what all campers traditionally must do - tell scary stories. This is a story, within a story, within a story, what a great concept and an ending you'll never guess. Horrific and enjoyable. —Theresa Jacobs
Peter Blakey-Novis has taken a cherished past time, and with his twisted mind, weaves a wicked tale that will make you look at your friends and ask – Do I really know them? On any camping trip, ghostly tales inevitably begin to surface around the fire after a few drinks. Novis uses this mechanism to divulge the inner most secrets of close friends. Each of the four stories has a nugget of personality regarding the character telling it, which as the story unfolds, reminds you of a contortionist at a macabre carnival that coils their body into an unrecognizable form, and the horrific gasp as the sound of the last joint pops out to complete the grotesque sight, reveals the nature of what people are capable of when pushed to their limit. This is a great read and I highly recommend it. —Amazon Customer
