About this listen

For Dominic, the annual fishing trips with his grandfather Earl were usually uneventful. Now at 18, he knows this will be the last trip they take together, because Earl has recently been diagnosed with dementia and his lucid time is running out.

Clearcutting has resumed in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska and, unbeknownst to Dominic, Earl has decided to sabotage the logging equipment nearby. When Earl returns to camp in a panic, raving about being attacked by something evil in the woods, Dominic fears his dementia has caused Earl’s delusion and as he tries in vain to calm him down, an explosion erupts in the distance, clarifying to him what Earl has done.

Back in their tent, Earl succumbs to a heart attack. Dominic, afraid and alone, covers him and tries to figure out how he is going to get home. But Earl’s body does not remain dead for very long. In the darkness of the tent, Dominic hears his corpse moving and realizes the nightmare has only just begun.

Pursued through the forest by his undead grandpa, Dominic struggles for survival as the wildfire rages. He will soon find out that an ancient evil has been stirred up by the activity and it is determined to protect its forest sanctuary at all costs.

Loved the narration of Dana Rae, who brings out the suspense.

I now know why I do not like camping. Dominic is on the annual fishing trip with his grandfather Earl. Both are getting on and this could be the last together. Earl is ill with dementia. Earl is not happy that there is clearcutting in the National Forest and decides to damage the logging equipment. When Earl returns to the campsite he is shouting about evil in the woods. Dominic believes his grandfathers dementia has got worse. Earl dies of a heart attack. Dominic. Problem is Earl does not stay dead .The nightmare has only just begun. This book has horror, twists and the right amount of scare.
