Synopsis

Holly arrives at Camp Nightwing for what should be an ordinary summer job, but the cabins are crawling with spiders, snakes, and bats, and sleep is hard to come by. Worse, wherever Holly goes, disaster seems to trail her: near-misses and outright accidents pile up around the other campers and counselors.

At first everyone treats it as bad luck. Holly herself starts to wonder if she is somehow the common thread. But as the incidents grow too frequent and too dangerous to be coincidence, it becomes clear that something is deliberately targeting the camp — and Holly is caught in the middle of it.

Part of R.L. Stine's long-running Fear Street series, this entry trades the series' usual Shadyside settings for a summer camp full of the same slow-building dread and teen paranoia the series is known for.
