motherhorror 's review for:
The Boy in the Woods
by Scott Thomas
Eddie Reicher is a ten-year-old boy suffering. A tragedy left his face severely disfigured and kids can be so cruel. Finished with another season of summer camp, his parents don't pick him up and he is forced to spend another night there with only the camp staff, teen counselors, and one other camper who is left behind too.
The perfect set up for a night of horrors.
Horror lovers are familiar with all the classic tropes and I'm willing to bet that 'Summer Camp Slashers' is a favorite.
THE BOY IN THE WOODS delivers on all expectations for an action-packed, page-turning, gore-soaked, good time. Eddie is a favorable character that readers will invest in emotionally, making his journey through this worst night of his life, suspenseful and worrisome.
There were a few aspects of this story that I felt needed more exposition and I think the character development, apart from the main protagonist, was too thin; hurried.
There's also something I wish I could say about the ending but it's too spoilery and future readers will discover it for themselves anyways, but I loved the ending. It chilled me the more I thought about what the implications mean.
THE BOY IN THE WOODS creeps up its readers with a stealthy, intensifying dread. My heart never felt safe.
