The Moor

Genre: Horror
My Review
I started reading this at night. It felt fitting as the story began with a camping trip and scary stories being told around the campfire. I could see the ghoulish faces cause by the light from the wavering flames. Hear the boys breathes quickening as the story gained momentum. Feel their hearts starting to race. Or was it mine?
The moment I read the blurb I was hooked. What could be scarier than being in the wilderness, knowing that disappearances and strange mutilations have occurred there, but still thinking it won’t happen to me. So, when someone disappears, knowing you have no business being out their in the first place flies out the window. It’s now a fight for survival against something terrible and unknown.
The author set this up well. After you learn the ins and out of the characters places in the group, the true nature of the story begins. There’s a good mystery in these pages. The feeling of isolation and desperation are on target. There’s something truly evil that I didn’t expect. And the ending. Well…..you’ll just have to read it.
A good one for a dark and stormy night.

Synopsis
It begins with a ghost story around a campfire. Teenagers out on a walking trip, trying to act brave in front of each other.
But as the walk gets underway and the boys begin to fall out, odd things start to happen.
Noises in the night. A severed rabbit’s foot outside someone’s tent.
Soon, the boys begin to disappear.
As panic sets in and a storm approaches, the remaining boys must band together to face a darkness not even the local ghost stories could help them predict.

You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
I have this one somewhere on my wishlist! I love this kind of setting!
It had a surprise twist or two that earned it my rating. I like this kind of scenario too.
I don’t care what anybody says. Camping is scary! Thanks for reviewing The Moor.
LOL Especially here in the south. I went camping with my husband on a little island in the bayou. We had to bring in our own water and hack out a camp site. During the night I heard something outside the tent. Turned out to be a bunch of armadillos but sounded like bigfoot! LOL
I am glad you enjoyed this one! I really liked it too!
I did enjoy it. And I’d like to read more by this author.

I like the sound of this one but still too scary for me. Anne – Books of My Heart
