"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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
