Summary

When Vince Carter takes a shortcut to work, he notices a billboard that nearly sends him into an oncoming van.

The ad is for Dream Woods, New England's answer to Disney World. It closed decades ago, but now that it's back in business, Vince is eager to take his whole family, hoping the magic he remembers will save his failing marriage.

His wife, Audra, isn't so sure. She's heard the rumors of why the place closed. Murder. Sacrifice. Torture. But those are just urban legends. Surely there's nothing evil about a family tourist attraction.

The Carters are about to discover that the park's employees aren't concerned with their guests' enjoyment. They're interested in something else. Something much more sinister.

Good old school horror with a Lovecraftian twist…

This is my first novel by Patrick Lacey and I really liked it so I will be looking for more of his work. This is a novella length book which on the surface seems to be just a slasher story but is so much more than that. Despite the short length the character development is good enough to get you invested in them. There is plenty of violence and gore but also a supernatural element. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator gave a solid performance that enhanced the story. I would recommend this one to fans of old school horror.

This is really good

This grabs you from the start and hauls you in. It's not a long story, less than six hours listening time, and it feels even shorter. There's no shortage of plot, no shortage of action, and everything is pulled together nicely at the end.

The narrator does a great job.
