Description
Twenty years ago they told scary stories around the campfire.
Now they're living one.
For twelve counsellors, Camp White Bear was more than a summer job. It was a place where they helped underprivileged kids escape their lives for a few precious weeks each year and where they formed friendships that would last a lifetime.
Long days with the campers.
Late nights around the fire.
Stories told deep in the woods just to scare each other before bed.
Those summers shaped who they became.
Now, twenty years later, the counsellors return to Camp White Bear for a reunion. They come back to relive the memories, reconnect with old friends, and laugh about the stories that once terrified them.
At first, everything feels the same.
Until one of them disappears during the night.
Then the road leading out of camp is suddenly gone.
Cut off from the outside world and deep in the forest, the group begins to realize something is terribly wrong with Camp Nightmare.
Because the woods surrounding the camp remember those summers.
They remember the stories.
And whatever listened from the darkness twenty years ago has been waiting for them to come back.
Not every scary story stays around the campfire.
And not everyone will leave Camp Nightmare alive.
From John T. Haas, Writers of the Future winner and author of the Book of Ancient Evil series, comes a chilling new descent into nostalgia and terror. If you survived the cosmic horror of Cults of Death and Madness, prepare yourself for a nightmare that refuses to stay in the past.

Person
John T. Haas, a Canadian author from Montreal, spent twelve great years in Calgary before settling in Ottawa, though he still longs for those Rocky Mountains. Writing is his lifelong passion, but he started pursuing publishing seriously after his sons were born. Since then, he's had over thirty short stories published and authored seven novels and three anthologies. His humorous fantasy trilogy starts with "The Reluctant Barbarian." After winning the Writer's of the Future contest in 2019 with his novella "The Damned Voyage," he launched a prequel Lovecraftian trilogy with "Cults of Death and Madness," published by Wordfire Press. He also has a standalone horror novel, "Stay Out." John aims to be a full-time writer, dreaming of fame and fortune, but taking it step by step. He lives with his supportive family, who inspire and motivate him to keep writing.
