“Looking at the sky, one could never truly appreciate the moon that looked out over this land unless they had the blessing of the Lord to sit beneath this sky and gander at its dominance,”

A new summer camp is opening in the mountains of the north-western region of Washington State. The counselors are arriving, filled with excitement, to prepare for the incoming children. The place is rough and unprepared and the camp leader is nowhere to be found.

The sheriff of Starbright Springs, Roy Caudel, has just been called to the Miller place to investigate their recent death. What he finds there is a bloody slaughter. It triggers a hidden memory from twenty years past, one that he has been keeping a secret because it is so horrifyingly unbelievable, everyone would think he was loony and no one would believe him.

It’s starting again. It's returned…

Hikers are coming to the area to camp in the woods. Looking to have relaxation, adventures, and hopefully some lusty romping. 

The sheriff is doing everything he can to warn everyone away, but no one will listen or heed his advice that they all need to leave. 

Their fate now belongs to the OGRE!

Set deep in the woods that feeling of isolation is ever creeping. Young campers having fun; sunbathing, skinnydipping, campfires and making whoopee. Lots of children are ready to have adventures at the campground. But the beast has arrived and it is hungry. Panic ensues as it feeds; viscera is flying everywhere, the crunching of bones can be heard and the bodies are piling up. Reminiscent of the classic 80’s slasher films, or as the author mentions in the Afterword, “Woodland Horror films.”  A nostalgic creature feature that will surely please any fan of the genre!!
