The Secret of Camp Shackelford, Book 1
The old campfire story; that mysterious, dark tall-tale, told, or rather performed, in the midst of the wilderness by the dancing light and shadows of a small campfire, with the indubitable purpose of scaring young campers out of their proverbial wits. While good campfire story tellers could send quivers into the depths of childhood minds, the best performers could impose a freezing terror on their juvenile audiences leaving them with slightly unnerving, yet fond memories of a well-spent summer vacation. For in the end, even the most shaken of campers knew that it was all just a story; a well imagined fictious yarn.
However, the most classic and lasting stories told by the soft crackling of dry burning wood and the glowing floating embers, are the ones that left one to wonder if it was true. When young minds left wondering if it was all just an crazy fairy tale, or was the nightmarish story real, is when the memories lingered on, constantly rekindling the terror over and over for a lifetime.
Is the Secret of Camp Shackleford such a fabricated tale, or was it real? Could something so preposterous have really happened? You decide.

The story follows a counselor recounting a long-buried mystery to a group of curious boys, and the tension builds perfectly. I felt like I was sitting right there in the dark with them, hanging on every word. The slow reveal of the camp’s dark secret is masterfully done — part supernatural horror, part Southern Gothic, and part psychological trauma. And just when you think you’ve got it figured out… that ending. I literally said “WHAT?” out loud.
What makes this story really work is that the horror isn’t just monsters — it’s legacy, silence, and evil passed down like inheritance. It's dark, disturbing, and absolutely compelling. I’m still thinking about the final line — it’s the kind of twist that makes you want to go back and reread everything to spot the clues.
Creepy, gripping, and totally unexpected - Wow!
