How to Survive Camping: The Lady in Chains - by Bonnie Quinn (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Campground manager Kate returns in this supernatural, campy, and cozy horror tale filled with thrilling adventures, mysterious monsters, and spine-chilling encounters, perfect for fans of Welcome to Night Vale and Chuck Tingle.

Every year, campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled "How to Survive Your Camping Experience." It includes a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campgrounds other...inhabitants.

With the campground in the throes of a bad year, it will take more than a list of rules to keep everyone safe. Monsters that were previously lying dormant are starting to stir and they're waking up hungry. Among them is the Lady in Chains, a creature feared by both human and inhuman things alike.

Her reappearance creates an upheaval in the balance of power in the campground by renewing an old grudge with the harvesters, who are willing to sacrifice anyone they get their hands on in order to gain an advantage. On top of all this, the man with the skull cap has started taking an unusual interest in Kate. But with the harvesters on the prowl, the Lady in Chains hunting her down, and a sinister spider infestation, Kate is going to need all the allies she can get, even if those allies aren't actually...human.

Review Quotes

"Chilling, brilliant, and a perfect escalation of the premise. Not for the arachnophobia. Seriously. I mean it. Everyone else should read it, though. Family ties, burdens, and betrayals, all wrapped up in a clever cobweb of elegant writing and beautiful pacing."--Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the Wayward Children series
