Welcome to Camp Killer

LoveReading4Kids Says

Interest Age Teen Reading Age 8

Isolate a group of teenagers in a crumbling old mansion with a tragic past, get them telling ghost stories, then wait for scary things to happen!

It’s a classic horror story set up and Cynthia Murphy works it brilliantly in her thriller. The teens are leading a summer camp for kids and the first incidents look like accidents, but then someone dies, and it’s clear that something very sinister is going on. Is it the ghost who haunts the Widow’s Walk, or one of them? The stakes rise with one night to go – who will make it out alive?

If you like your reading to be punctuated by shocks, scares and jump out of your seat moments, you’ll love this! Murphy handles the horror brilliantly right up to the creepy ending, and it’s horror-tastic fun.
