Campfire

De: Shawn Sarles, James Patterson - introduction

Narrado por: Charlotte Blacklock

Fans of Scream and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will devour this "wholly chilling and unputdownable" horror debut (Kerri Maniscalco, New York Times bestselling author).
Be careful what stories you tell around the campfire . . . they just might come true.

While camping in a remote location, Maddie Davenport gathers around the fire with her friends and family to tell scary stories. Caleb, the handsome young guide, shares the local legend of the ferocious Mountain Men who hunt unsuspecting campers and leave their mark by carving grisly antlers into their victims' foreheads.

The next day, the story comes true. Now Maddie and her family are lost in the deep woods -- with no way out -- being stalked by their worst nightmares. Because there were other, more horrifying stories told that night -- and Maddie's about to find out just how they end . . .

Praise for Campfire:
A Barnes & Noble Best Book of the Month!

"When fictional murders become the blueprints for actual killings, where is the line between imagination and reality? Slasher film fans will want to gather round the fire."—Kirkus Reviews

"Entertaining... Sarles keeps up a fast pace with toxic family drama and graphic murders alike, with effective use of red herrings. This slasher will work for teens raised on Goosebumps."—Booklist

"[Campfire]'s treatment of the traditional horror tropes gives it a nostalgic sense. This nostalgia will likely appeal to older teens with fond memories of their younger years spent enjoying series horror fiction such as R.L. Stine's Goosebumps. ... near-constant action and peril, family drama, and plenty of gore, liberally spread around."—VOYA

"Cheesy teen horror"

I didn't expect it to be all that for a YA horror but I fairly enjoyed the book, I had to admit it the ending was surprising but overall it was pretty good.

WOW

Great story from the beginning and never expected the plot twist at the end! Highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of horror!

Slow starter, not really about campfire tales.

It takes about half the book for this to really get going. And then it kicks into high gear. The ending was a surprise, I won't give it away, but I'm still a little confused into the motives. They explain it, but I still don't see the entire point. I was hoping for more of a supernatural thriller, given the premise of campfire stories, but that is not what this is.

The book is definitely geared more towards young adults. It's a good, but not really scary. The narration is pleasing.

Couldn't stop listening...

This story from the very beginning was intriguing and intense. makes you feel every feeling the character has and is going through.

Good Job for a first timer

Good book, but a little disjointed. I enjoyed it knowing it was a young author, but would have been more critical if it had been a seasoned author
