About this listen
Bestselling YA horror writer Cynthia Murphy crafts a spine-chilling thriller about a summer camp gone deathly wrong.
When an American-style residential camp is set up in the grounds of an English stately home, the teenage camp counsellors are looking forward to a fun summer of activities.
But right from the outset, things don’t feel quite right at Camp Miller. Rumours circulate of a tragedy that took place in the grounds and there are unexplained sightings of a ghostly presence.
Then the incidents begin – a near-drowning out on the lake, a fatal fall from a cliff-face … Are these tragic accidents or is there something more sinister going on at Camp Killer?

"I’m a big fan of 80’s slasher films and this book hits all the right beats, from the creepy story around the campfire, to the cabins, the mysterious figure, and the kids being picked off one … by … one. Kill-tastic stuff!" – Dan Smith
"A fun, fast-paced and atmospheric slasher that is perfect for spooky season." – Amy McCaw
“This book is brilliant and has some of the most ridiculously fun murders I've ever read. And the drama! So much drama.” – Kathryn Foxfield
“Gory, gruesome and a ton of fun. I laughed more than I probably should have. If you like a high body count and inventive deaths, I recommend.” – Lesley Parr
"Bestselling horror writer Cynthia Murphy makes her Barrington Stoke debut with a spine-chilling thriller about a summer camp gone deathly wrong." — Tyrone Herald
"A cross between a Victorian ghost story and an American slasher movie, the ghostly aspect adds an old-world spooky undertone, keeping the slasher trope from being too formulaic. Featuring an eclectic group of characters, the mystery keeps readers guessing until the killer is revealed. Fun and fast-paced, this dyslexia-friendly short read is gripping throughout." — Children's Books Ireland
“With an addictive plotline that keeps the pages turning at a fast and furious pace, lots of devilish twists and turns, an impish sense of fun, and a cast of fascinating characters, this is a thriller-chiller to die for!” – Book-marked, blog
