"This was a very summery-fun type of book. It wasn't my favorite of his... The ending felt a little rushed. It was still a fun read, just not his best work. It followed the same lines as Darkness, Tell Us. It was a fun, summer thriller set primarily around a fateful camping trip."
— Victoria (4 out of 5 stars)
Dark Mountain Listener Reviews
-
" As is said in some other reviews, not a whole lot happens in this book. Laymon may have been attempting a different style of fear-inducement in this novel, but it just didn't work. I kept thinking I was reading erotica instead of horror. I see no problem with mixing the two, but maybe Laymon was just really horny when he was writing this one. "
— Bateman, 2/17/2014 -
" Even when Laymon isn't at his best, I still find myself turning the pages and unable to put the book down. This is dreadful, compelling stuff -- trashy but satisfying, everything a pulp-riff-page-turner should be. For me, Laymon is the equivalent of a greasy cheeseburger and fries -- consume in moderation and enjoy! "

" Why do people go camping? Don't they know there's always a crazy old witch and her retarded sex-starved son living in a cave somewhere? And you know they're just waiting to pounce on unsuspecting campers. Terrific! But there's good news. After three-hundred pages there's always a happy ending. "
— Eric, 2/11/2014 -
" Terrific read; creepy like only a Richard Laymon book can be! "
— Trevor, 1/27/2014 -
" This is the first bad Laymon novel I have read. Starts off like a 80's era slasher film. But then morphs into a curse/witchcraft film. Badly paced. It takes to almost half way thru the book for anything to happen.Avoid this one. I paid a buck for it and felt ripped off. "

" Good Gory Fun. "
— Michael, 1/1/2014 -
" Great relationships and some unexpected twists. I had fun getting through this book. I was pleased with the way the 'crazy' old woman turned out. I thought these "strangers" were going to be more sick and twisted. "
— Horrorfan, 12/27/2013 -
" Pretty good though I like stories that are realistic rather than supernatural stuff. "
— Becky, 12/15/2013 -
" Woods, crazy guy, hatchet - vintage 80's horror. "

" Same as Thread Softly, just a different edition. "

" Loved it! I love everything I can get my hands on by Laymon. Definitely not for those who do not like gore!! "
— Ashleigh, 7/6/2013 -
" Good Entertaining read but cliched and not realistic. First book read on my Kindle so that was the only pleasure. "
— Corey, 4/15/2013 -
" It took a while to get into it, but it did get better towards the middle. Not one of Richard Laymon's best but was worth reading. "
— Robert, 4/4/2013 -
" Kind of disappointed, the setup in the beginning didn't really flow very well into the latter half of the book for me. It was an okay read but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. "
— Sarah, 3/1/2013 -
" This isn't the most scary book, but I found myself drawn to the characters and cared about what happened to them. "
— Sonya, 12/11/2012 -
" There wasn't really anything scary about the book. The 1st chapter was a little spooky but only because I go camping. It was a fast read; about 2 days. It would have been a good beach book or even a book for a few nights of backpacking. "
— Ryan, 11/5/2012 -
" Loved it. Simmering action all the way through. No boring endings for this author...I think I'm addicted to Richard Laymon...Curse you Geoff!... NOT! "
— Imma, 8/27/2012 -
" Laymon was a genius. "
