Absolutely loved this book, rich in detail and suspense 1975-youth camp-crime thriller of family dynamics and privilege leading to tragedy for the individual and the generation without ever pandering to stereotypes. My first time reading author @lizmoorebooks.bsky.social, and I am in awe.

I'm going to buy this. In my opinion, Gemma Files is the best writer of modern horror short stories. Not one of the best. The best.

Went to American Ninja Warrior course with my 10-year-old daughter over the weekend. I could do about 3/5 of the obstacles... I am clearly not a Ninja, and my back still hurts. My daughter did the jump-and-stick against horizontal walls, that I thought was IMPOSSIBLE! She proudly proved me wrong.
