The Boy in the Woods by Scott Thomas

5.0

---

Coming of age? Slasher? Camp setting? Oh my gosh - be still my heart! This novella already has all of my favorite qualities when it comes to horror books and movies... and for it to be written by Scott Thomas I knew I was in for an even bigger treat! Thomas has a way of pulling you in with his descriptions. Everything was perfectly set up: the setting with the campers and counselors, mosquitoes (trust me... you will definitely be itching during and after reading this one), emotions, conversations, motives, bullying, etc. Thomas really puts a unique spin on the slasher trope, the campfire tale, and the misunderstood killer we always seem to be up against... and as always he makes you scratch your head and wonder, "Whoa... what if...?!"

Thank you to Scott Thomas and Ink Shares for allowing the Night Worms to do this for a Night Worms Book Party!
