Description
In the woods of the Luke Miller State Park, north of Eastham, NJ, an urban legend lives in peace with nature. You don’t bother it and it will leave you alone. A simple rule to live by and one the park rangers enforce.
Unfortunately, Rick and Max don’t know this natural law, and when they come face to face with an immense monster, they react, and in a moment of panic, inadvertently shoot it.
Their actions set off a series of events that leaves Rich, his wife, Kara, Max, and the others fighting for their lives against a force that cannot be stopped. As things spiral out of control, Rich wonders if there’s any way to escape the thing in the woods.

The book starts out strong, and we rapidly get into the “Cabin-In-The-Woods” creepiness, a subcategory of horror I really enjoy. Oh and there’s a big stinky creature lurking nearby.
One of the main issues I struggled to comprehend was the “meh” attitude of the characters when they find out one of them is abusing their spouse. It just didn’t seem realistic to me, granted I’ve also never been in that situation; if I found out my sister in law was getting smacked around we’d be outta there and getting her support asap! It feels bizarrely wrong that you’d want to keep camping in the face of domestic violence. This was a sticking point for me and I couldn’t enjoy the book as much as I initially had.
The Cryptid parts were interesting, there were a few other odd add-ins to the plot, like the criminals. Overall this was a decent, quick read. I definitely liked the Oilers reference, being an Edmontonian myself!
Thank you to NetGalley, Crossroad Press, & Gary Frank for a copy.
