Yugi Muto hasn't stepped foot in Camp Crawford - a well loved local summer camp nestled amongst the spruce trees - in almost fourteen years, following an accident he's done his best to forget, and he was content to keep it that way. But after the retirement of his grandfather, who helped run the camp for almost forty years, Yugi reluctantly agrees to go and help set it up for the upcoming summer against his own better judgement. But childhood memories, ghost stories and camp legends aren't the only things waiting for him in the woods.
And something is itching to finish what was left undone fourteen years ago.

admin's notes: i have a type okay, and it's haunted-cabin-in-the-woods horror/mystery. a really clever intertwining of Yugi's mysterious traumatic past, and the suspense of his current-day interactions with the stranger at the camp that kept me guessing until the end.
@saijspellhart says: A delightful story about Yugi taking on a job to clean up a campground before summer break. He’s supposed to be alone in the woods, but he isn’t. And this camp hides something far more sinister.
Basically this story checks off a lot of my favorite things. Horror, romance, spookiness, great atmosphere and setting. Excellent writing. I was enthralled the entire read.
