This tale of summer camp horror and mystery by the author of I Am Legend is âa deeply engaging story with a clear writing style that is a pleasure to readâ (Publishers Weekly).  Camp Pleasant is a place of natural beauty and campfire singalongs. But when Matt Harper arrives there to work as a counselor, he discovers it is also a place of unrelenting abuse and brutality. The new camp director âBig Edâ Nolan is such a bully that the bucolic paradise feels more like a miniature Third Reich . . . until someone finally has enough and kills Big Ed.  The suspects include a troubled young camper, a counselor who quit in the face of homophobic humiliation, and Big Edâs own wife, Ellen. â[This] minimalist plot would be inadequate in other hands, but Mathesonâauthor of Somewhere in Time and Hell House as well as classic Twilight Zone teleplaysâhas such a command of his craft that this book is a pure pleasure . . .The simple style recalls Hemingwayâ (Publishers Weekly). |
