How to Survive Camping: The Man With No Shadow

Kate runs Goat Valley Campground, land her family has owned for generations. It has also killed many of them. Folklore and horror creatures hunt on the property, and the guests who pitch tents there are only part of what draws them.

To keep campers alive, Kate follows a set of rules. If the man with the skull cup offers a drink, accept it. Never buy ice from the children with no wagon. Never follow the lights.

Rules only work when people obey them, and plenty of campers do not. Guests turn up decapitated or drained, and Kate treats the bodies as a lesser worry. The man with no shadow, one of the most dangerous things on the land, wants the campground for himself.

A curse on her bloodline is also closing in on her. The book is horror told in Kate's wry, put-upon voice, with a dark sense of humour. It is episodic, built around one camping season, and it began as Bonnie Quinn's r/nosleep stories. It is the first book in the How to Survive Camping series.

Kate has to hold the campground against a creature that wants it, with a family curse bearing down on her.
