At ten years old, Sally Jones vanished for a single night from the summer camp she was supposed to be safe in. No one, including herself, knows what happened to her.
Now, eight years later, she's back.
As one of five teenage councilors, Sally returns to the camp to face the gap in her memory and confront the nightmares that never stopped. But she soon discovers Camp Glover is just as scary as her nightmares foretold, and not all the councilors will survive the night. Pentagrams smeared over cabin walls and a reclusive cook that prepares meat the counsellors are never meant to eat are only a few of the horrors that await them all.
And it's not long until Sally and the others realize the truth.
The lake remembers. And whatever lives beneath its surface has been counting the nights until she returned.
For fans of vertical dramas, The Return to Creature Camp is the first offering from R Royce and Vertical Drama Books. Written in the same style as the vertical dramas dominating our screens, with short, relentless chapters, each one dragging you deeper into a horror story that doesn't let go until the very last page.
