How to Survive Camping: The Man With No Shadow
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 loved this book from beginning to end. I thought it would be a book about how to survive camping. I never dreamed that the monsters would be a normal part of life. The writing is brilliant. The view point that the writer takes its like so juicy this book kept my from beginning to end. You could picture this campground the world thats created. I Found myself thinking of the world as I was in my daily life. The book is not scary to me.But it is a very engaging book. I didnt want it to end so I read it slow Soooooo gooood. Can't wait for the next book
It was entertaining and I did laugh out loud a few times! The nonchalant way the main character deals with in identity is priceless. However, the build up to the ending felt a bit long and could have been better. But would recommend! One person's thoughts is just that one person! But over all very enjoyable!
