July's pick for Horror Summer Camp.

This was a fun read. It reminded me of Goosebumps and Spooksville. It felt super nostalgic of 80's summer camp horror and it channeled that really well.

The uncle was such a loveable odd-ball. I would have loved to have summers like that, as a kid, although I don't deny the local legends would have terrified me at the time.

Being a short book, I didn't notice how long the chapters were, at first, but when I noticed this, I felt like each chapter felt like a shorter story within the book and that amplified the serial tone of Goosebumps it had me thinking of, that I enjoyed. 

The last 5% shook me. It was so sad and I couldn't help casting my mind back to all the adventures that had happened in the book and being in awe at how cleverly crafted the story was.

A much lighter (to begin with at least) pick than June's read for the Horror Summer Camp. A fantastic read with the nostalgia and melancholy of Summer as a kid imbued inside, and more depth to it than you may initally expect.
