About this listen

An unsettling horror novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author, for fans of Stephen King, Catriona Ward and Chuck Wendig

Your worst nightmare is about to come true…

When an overnight camping trip in the woods on Halloween night goes wrong, and a girl ends up dead with what looks like animal wounds, the whole neighbourhood is shocked.

How did it happen?

And more importantly what was it that killed her?
