Camp Pleasant
by Richard MathesonThis tale of summer camp horror and mystery by the author of I Am Legend is &“a deeply engaging story with a clear writing style that is a pleasure to read&” (Publishers Weekly). Camp Pleasant is a place of natural beauty and campfire singalongs. But when Matt Harper arrives there to work as a counselor, he discovers it is also a place of unrelenting abuse and brutality. The new camp director &“Big Ed&” Nolan is such a bully that the bucolic paradise feels more like a miniature Third Reich . . . until someone finally has enough and kills Big Ed. The suspects include a troubled young camper, a counselor who quit in the face of homophobic humiliation, and Big Ed&’s own wife, Ellen. &“[This] minimalist plot would be inadequate in other hands, but Matheson—author of Somewhere in Time and Hell House as well as classic Twilight Zone teleplays—has such a command of his craft that this book is a pure pleasure . . .The simple style recalls Hemingway&” (Publishers Weekly).

The Camp: Sneak Peek
by Nancy BushBe one of the first to read this sneak preview sample edition!The perfect summer suspense thriller, evoking 1980s horror movies set at sleepaway camps but with a fresh twist, from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Babysitter and The Neighbors.There are always stories told around the fire at summer camp—tall tales about gruesome murders and unhinged killers, concocted to scare new arrivals and lend an extra jolt of excitement to those hormone-charged nights. At Camp Luft-Shawk, nicknamed Camp Love Shack, there are stories about a creeping fog that brings death with it. But here, they&’re not just campfire tales. Here, the stories are real. Twenty years ago, a girl&’s body was found on a ledge above the lake, arms crossed over her heart. Some said it was part of a suicide pact, connected to the nearby Haven Commune. Brooke, Rona, and Wendy were among the teenagers at camp that summer, looking for fun and sun, sex and adventure. They&’ve never breathed a word about what really happened—or about the night their friendship shattered. Now the camp, renamed Camp Fog Lake, has reopened for a new generation, and many of those who were there on that long-ago night are returning for an alumni weekend. But something is stirring at the lake again. As the fog rolls in, evil comes with it. Those stories were a warning, and they didn&’t listen. And the only question is, who will live long enough to regret it?
Camp So-and-So (Fiction -- Young Adult Ser.)
by Mary McCoyThe letters went out in mid-February. Each letter invited its recipient to spend a week at Camp So-and-So, a lakeside retreat for girls nestled high in the Starveling Mountains. Each letter came with a glossy brochure with photographs of young women climbing rocks, performing Shakespearean theatre under the stars, and spiking volleyballs. Each letter was signed in ink by the famed and reclusive businessman and philanthropist, Inge F. Yancey IV. By the end of the month, twenty-five applications had been completed, signed, and mailed to a post office box in an obscure Appalachian town. Had any of these girls tried to follow the directions in the brochure and visit the camp for themselves on that day in February, they would have discovered that there was no such town and no such mountain and that no one within a fifty-mile radius had ever heard of Camp So-and-So. "The DNA of this singular book winds strands of M. C. Escher, Joss Whedon, and Heathers—Mary McCoy has created something wonderful, wild, and weird. Don't miss it."—Martha Brockenbrough, author of The Game of Love and Death

So when her parents&’ announcement of their impending divorce comes hand in hand with sending Naomi and her younger twin brothers to summer camp while they figure things out, it&’s salt in the wound for Naomi and her avoidance of hands-on experience. Camp Twisted Pine could be worse. The counselors are nice, and Naomi likes her cabinmates, especially Jackie, whose blunt personality and frank dislike of the camp draws Naomi in quickly. Jackie is also hard of hearing and uses a hearing aid, and the girls quickly develop a routine of sign language lessons in their free time, which Naomi sees as a welcome break when all the s&’mores-making and nature walks get to be a bit much. But the campers aren&’t the only ones who roam the grounds of Camp Twisted Pine. When people start to go missing, including Jackie, Naomi has to find a way to save everyone—and herself. Her practical knowledge of the outdoors may still be rudimentary at best, but she has years of studying and the scientific method to fall back on. Can Naomi identify and stop the dangerous predator before it&’s too late?

El campo del alfarero: Montalbano - Libro 17 (Salvo Montalbano #Volumen 17)
by Andrea CamilleriUna nueva entrega de la serie del comisario Montalbano en la que el comisario deberá devanarse los sesos y aguzar todo su ingenio para desvelar la trama oculta de una traición insospechada. En los pedregosos aledaños de Pizzutello, la lluvia ha devuelto a la luz un cadáver con signos de haber sido ajusticiado por traición. Sin huellas dactilares y con el rostro desfigurado, las características no se corresponden con las de ningún desaparecido. Y cuando Mimì Augello insiste de forma muy extraña en hacerse cargo del caso personalmente, las alarmas de Montalbano se encienden. Pese a que los molestos achaques de la edad lo tienen algo embotado, su infalible instinto lo lleva a no ceder las riendas y seguir adelante sin bajar la guardia. O tal vez el mejor estímulo sea la aparición en escena de Dolores Alfano, una mujer atractiva y seductora que denuncia la desaparición de su marido, de quien dejó de tener noticias poco antes de que embarcara hacia Sudamérica. Así, de manera gradual y casi imperceptible, dos casos en apariencia distantes empiezan a mezclarse, y Montalbano deberá devanarse los sesos y valerse de todo su ingenio para desvelar la trama oculta de una traición insospechada. En esta decimoséptima entrega encontramos a un Salvo Montalbano con cierta tendencia a la misantropía, cada vez más entregado a sus momentos de soledad y a esos diálogos con su otro yo, que por una parte lo agotan y por otra le señalan el camino. Engañando a quien lo engaña, rebatiendo falsedades con nuevas falsedades, al final el verdadero temple del comisario resurgirá cuando renuncie a la gloria por lealtad a quienes ama. Quizá la vida no sea tan absurda, después de todo.
