They are let off abruptly and left alone at a station where they are nearly set upon by large wild dogs. Billy hits it off with one of the girls and hopes to see her as the summer goes on. Once again, I find myself applauding Stine and his writing for this book because if I hadn’t already known the twist, I don’t honestly think I would’ve guessed it.Show More bus ride with his fellow campers, including two girls who are headed to the girls camp of the same name, just across the river. We see the campers being thinned out and whittled down until there is only Billy left in his bunk, and oddly it doesn’t seem forced or like a Deus Ex Machina, which is something a lot of adult horror can’t even get right. The pacing of the story moves along at a decent speed, propelling the reader through accident after accident. But it does it in a way that doesn’t cause the reader to get so despondent that they can’t continue. You expect to get a few jump scares, and they sort of happen, but for the most part the tension just builds and builds until the climax. The twist explains it, but the lead to it is a brilliant piece of tension building. From the start when the campers are attacked by unknown fuzzy carnivores, right through to the climax with rifles aimed at children, something is more than a little off about Billy’s experience at camp. But at Camp Nightmoon all is not as it seems. SO they always seem like such an awesome novelty to me. Y’know, yay camp… Never went to summer camp myself, England didn’t really have them.
Billy is on his way to his first summer camp, Camp Nightmoon.
Well this was definitely a marked improvement from The Girl Who Cried Monster. if you survive! Billy thinks that life at camp is a bit creepy, but when other campers start to disappear and his parents do not answer his letters, Camp Nightmoon becomes Camp Nightmare. Welcome to Camp Nightmare It's the little camp of horrors! Next summer you'll stay home.
