About this ebook
When a group of young people are sent by their church to clean up an old bible camp in the mountains, none of them knows the secrets of the tragedy that happened there decades earlier. Meeting with the camp’s caretaker, they soon learn some of the tale, but it’s only when night falls and death strikes that they discover true pain and terror.
As they are slain one by one, those left struggle to survive, racing through the camp and the woods while searching for safety.
But when axes fall and hatchets are slung, throats cut and heads removed, can any hope to live through the night?

Yanking open the glove department box, Ken tossed his phone inside before slamming the little door closed. This place sucks!
Taking her eyes off the gravel road in front of them, Mary glanced in his direction. What’s wrong?
No cell reception,
he said, glaring out the window to the thick forest flowing up and down hills on either side of them. And we’re in the middle of nowhere. I should’ve known better than to let you drag me up here.
It’s for a good cause,
Mary said with a frown, looking ahead once more. The pastor wants this place cleaned up before they bring the kids here next month.
Ken grunted. Yeah, whatever. The only reason I’m here is because you begged me, and because I’ll be graduating soon.
Mary’s eyes misted. I thought you came because you loved me.
Rolling his eyes, Ken looked over at his girlfriend. I’m going to need a job, aren’t I, at least until you graduate next year? One of the deacons is boss at an investment firm. Anything I can do to look good in his eyes will be worth it.
Steering around a hole in the middle of the road, Mary reached up and brushed away her tears. I thought you cared for me.
Ken sat there in silence for a few moments, staring at her with a look of disgust on his face. Then he reached over and petted a shoulder. You know I do, babe. I just get caught up in all this stuff.
She forced a smile and glanced at him again. It’ll be better once we reach the camp, I promise.
I hope so,
he said. The others shouldn’t be too far behind. If this place is like you said, maybe we can get in some swim time before they show up.
Maybe, but we’ve got a lot to do. I’ll have to check in with the groundskeeper or caretaker or whatever he is.
Well, if there’s a caretaker up there, we shouldn’t have much to do, now should we?
Mary ignored the question as they came to a bend in the road. She slowed and kept her attention straight ahead.
Rounding the bend, the woods opened up ahead of them and the road ended in a circular gravel driveway. A rotting wooden sign on the right
