Marketed as Get Out Meets Friday the 13th this story follows Taylor a teen girl who gets herself into a bit of legal trouble and ends up at a Work Release Program at a summer camp. Camp Lanier is built around a man-made lake that has a history of death. From the moment she peeps the website to her first steps on the grounds our girl is haunted.
This story combines history, urban legend, micro-aggressions, time travel, blood, gore, ghosts, mental health, racism, and well-placed dark humor. I can confidently say that Jordan Peele needs to put this on his radar.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this story. As a parent I wanted to pop the MC upside the head for some of her choices and naiveness. As a horror fan and reader, I was rooting for Taylor to survive and thrive. Highly recommend.
