This story is firmly based in the supernatural so it’s necessary to leave your inner sceptic at the door. So his father Jack starts off on a journey that takes him from Owasippe to the Kampinos Forest in Poland where Jack’s great-grandfather had died in similar circumstances during the war. One of the scouts was the friend of young Sparky Wallace, a 12-year-old with Asperger’s (hasn’t every fictional child these days?), who becomes obsessed with the need to know what caused the tragedy. But while there, something happens that makes them all commit suicide, often in bloodily horrific ways. The three-inch stump of her neck was like a volcano erupting – not with lava, but with maggots…Ī group of scouts and their leaders go off for a camping weekend in a forest in Owasippe, Michigan. She was wearing a white T-shirt, the front of which was heavily stained with blood and with the green and black juices of putrescence. Standing up to her waist in the middle of the pool was a woman with no head. So when this book became available on NetGalley it seemed ideal to be this week’s… When I started the whole search for the hair-raising thing a few months back, I trotted around various blogs specialising in horror to get some names of contemporary authors, and Graham Masterton’s name came up repeatedly. “If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise!”
