I only gave this book 1 star because no stars is not an option. I bought it because it was on a list of recommendations from Stephen King. I will have to be more careful in taking King's recommendations from now on.

The story is about a children's camp, the older teenagers who return yearly to help run it, along with the owners and other adult members of the camp staff. The book is very amateurishly written and comes off more like a boogie man tale told around a late night campfire....
