How to Survive Camping: The Man With No Shadow

De: Bonnie Quinn

Narrado por: Jeremy Carlisle Parker

A campy, cozy horror novel about a manager of a haunted campground just trying to get through the season, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, Rachel Harrison, and Welcome to Night Vale.

I am a campground manager. I don’t have a list of rules because I’m trying to ruin your fun…I’m trying to keep you from doing small, simple things that could result in your horrific and most agonizing demise.

Goat Valley Campground has killed generations of Kate’s family. The land is old, passed down through generations, but the campground’s reputation doesn’t just draw campers year after year. Creatures from folklore and horror have made Goat Valley not just their home, but their hunting ground.

As campground manager, Kate has rules to protect her campers—if the man with the skull cup offers you a drink, accept it or you will die a gruesome death; don’t buy ice from the children with no wagon; and of course, never ever follow the lights. Still, not every camper follows the rules…which means not every camper survives their stay.

Soon decapitated and exsanguinated campers are the least of Kate’s worries; one of the most dangerous inhabitants of the campground is determined to claim the land for himself. Meanwhile, something in the land is shifting, the tides are turning, and the curse that hunts members of her bloodline begins to close in…

I want this turned into a TV show

I loved everything about this book and can't wait for the next one! I want this turned into a TV show.

Refreshing

How to survive camping was such a fun read and so refreshing, kept me interested the entire time. Loved how graphic it was without being too graphic and the funny moments really made me lol along with all the details you got to make the story come to life. The narrator did an amazing job.

excellent story telling

what a lovely surprise twist at the end. loved the world building and character development.

Imaginative and unique.

I would give this book all the stars in the world. First heard the collection of stories on the No Sleep Podcast and was hooked. This is a modern day Grimm’s Fairytales with a strong female protagonist. Love this book!!!!!

Ready for More

Love everything Jeremy narrates and especially love being able to find talented new (to me) authors through her. This story is a journey, peeled back in layers until you realize that the MC is not, and never has been, as alone as they think they are. There are horrors, but there is also humor and tenderness and resilience and growth.

No matter how much you believe you know what's coming next, or how right you may be in specific moments, you will never fully anticipate everything, as Quinn world builds continuously until the very end, making you immediately desperate for more.

Thank goodness there are three more books in this series!
