Twenty years ago, they told scary stories around the campfire. Now, they're living one.

For twelve former counselors, Camp White Bear was more than just a summer job; it was where they formed friendships meant to last a lifetime. They spent long days with underprivileged kids and late nights huddled around the fire, telling stories deep in the woods just to scare each other before bed. Those summers shaped who they became.

Now, twenty years later, the group returns for a reunion. They've come back to relive the memories, reconnect, and laugh about the tales that once terrified them. At first, everything feels the same. But then the road leading out of camp vanishes. One by one, the counselors begin to disappear into the trees.

The group is starting to realize something is terribly wrong with "Camp Nightmare." The woods surrounding the camp have a long memory?they remember the stories, and whatever listened from the darkness twenty years ago has been waiting for them to come back.

Not every scary story stays around the campfire. And not everyone will leave Camp Nightmare alive.

From John Haas, the Writers of the Future award-winning author of The Damned Voyage and Cults of Death and Madness, comes a relentless new entry in the Midnight Library collection. If you crave atmospheric Canadian horror with a slasher heart, step inside... but don't expect to leave.
