BOOK LAUNCH: HOW TO SURVIVE CAMPING: THE ANCIENT ONES by Bonnie Quinn
About this Event
Welcome to Night Vale meets Rachel Harrison in this campy, cozy supernatural horror series from Reddit sensation Bonnie Quinn, as a campground manager must do everything she can to keep her campers alive.
We're thrilled to welcome Bonnie Quinn to The Twisted Spine in conversation with Adam Cesare (VIDEO NIGHT) on September 14!
About HOW TO SURVIVE CAMPING: THE ANCIENT ONES
Every year, campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled “How to Survive Your Camping Experience.” In it is a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campground’s…other…inhabitants.
With the land turning ancient, it is no longer just the campers who are in danger. Kate is the key and every inhuman entity is out for her blood. All the lesser creatures are making attempts on her life, but Kate isn’t willing to let her land go without a fight. If these creatures are going to hunt her, then she’ll hunt them in turn and eradicate everything from her land that cannot coexist with humanity. With the help of both her inhuman and human allies, it looks like Kate might actually have a chance at controlling the campground. But ancient land attracts ancient things, and the town has a bad history with ancient creatures.
A new entity has come to the campground, bearing an old grudge against one of the inhabitants. Its malevolent designs will put the entire land at risk—unless Kate can stop it.
