The author must be able to read into my mind because this book had everything I love to read. The book starts out with men hunting in the woods and spooky forest, with lots of action, camping, hiking, snow, mountains, death, and plain terror! But then it also has family, love and lots of friendship. There is also some really creative nightmares, both supernatural but real too. How could anyone not enjoy this and I will probably read it again. If anyone wants to recommend books similar to this please let me know and I possibly can tell you a few choice ones that I have enjoyed reading. Hopefully this author will keep writing more suspenseful books like this one. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this!! I highly recommend it and will be sure to give a review

A great "your sins will find you out" story. King-Esq to be sure but a fresh take on the angle with the kids and the cameras. that was a high point. Through in guilt and the "road of progress and I think you will all enjoy!

I love a good horror book and I loved the premise of 'Boy in the Box'. The plot has all the makings of a film.

Plot-
Ten years ago a mysterious and tragic hunting accident deep in the Adirondack Mountains left a boy buried in a storied piece of land known as Coombs' Gulch and four friends with a terrible secret. Now, Jonathan Hollis and brothers Michael and Conner Braddick must return to the place that changed their lives forever in order to keep their secret buried. What they don't realize is that they are walking into a trap -- one set decades earlier by a supernatural being who is not confined by time or place: a demon that demands a sacrifice.

This is quite a thrilling read if you like a book which has horror and supernatural elements. This is not a long novel and frankly I was quite invested in knowing what happens next.

Enjoyed this one.

This is a story of the horror of guilt. Four men on a hunting trip accidentally shoot and kill a boy, whom they decide to bury and cover up the whole thing. Only it wont stay buried. The guilt alone is eating at these men's lives but it turns out there is a supernatural force also at play. The remote place where the incident happened is soon to become a highway so the remaining three of the group decide to go back and dispose of the body in a safer location. This is when it becomes apparent there is a lot more going on than guilt over an accidental murder. My favorite part was wondering what on earth a child was doing so far from civilization alone in the forest at night. One of the men discovers many stories and videos showing children on hunting cameras. No reason any of them should be where there images were captured. So who are these forest children and what are doing? This was a good horror tale with satanic type supernatural elements. Thank you Netgally and the publishers for the ARC.
