Camp Shadow Lake has secrets. And if Maeve is going to find her missing friend—or the girl who disappeared ten years before that—she’ll need to uncover every last one of them.

Touch the skull rock. Walk deep into the woods. Enter the witch’s cabin, and say the words that summon her ghost. It’s supposed to be a game—but for Maeve's best friend Heather, it wasn’t. Now Heather is gone, and Maeve only knows one way to discover the truth: to spend the night in the witch’s cabin and get answers from the spirit who stole her away. 

But as Maeve closes in on the camp’s sinister connection to unearthly forces, hideous legends, and the nearby abandoned psychiatric hospital, where untold women were shut away in years past, she’ll learn that not all of the evils at Camp Shadow Lake lurk beyond the edges of the firelight… Some are very human.  

Set in the early 2000s and dripping with y2k nostalgia, this thrilling read features terrifying ghosts, a shadowy cult, missing girls, and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. As deep and dark as the nighttime woods, Something Wicked in the Woods is a sharp, smart YA horror from a fiercely feminist and incisive voice within the genre.
