'A whole lot of bloody fun with a serious message at its heart' CJ. Tudor
'Beautifully written and impossible to put down' Fiona Cummins

--
Cancelled after a drunken, ill-advised post, TV-star Willow McKenzie is sent to Camp Castaway - a retreat in the woods where you hide from your mistakes.
Spoiler #1: there's nowhere to hide.
That first night, fellow campers gather round a fire, telling ghost stories. And Willow hears the tale of Knock-Knock Nancy - a beheaded local woman whose spirit still roams the woods.
Spoiler #2: she takes her victim's heads.
Willow doesn't believe in ghosts - until next day, a camper vanishes. And, that evening, Willow hears it:
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Spoiler #3: It's already too late . . .
