Don't Go into the Woods at Night

Scareville

By: John Ward

Narrated by: Dylan J Holt

Bender and his best friend, Danny, learn a valuable life lesson. Stealing doesn’t pay.

When they are caught attempting to steal expensive baseball cards by the store owner, their parents are given two options. They can enroll their sons in a campout program designed to reform them or go to jail.

The decision was pretty easy. Neither of them had ever broken the law before, but this was an opportunity to keep their records clean and hopefully scare them from ever trying to repeat the action.

They are taken to a campground on Summersville Lake in West Virginia, completely isolated from society with a group of other kids needing a change in their lives.

After one of the camp counselors tells a creepy campfire story of the grimmics that are said to roam the forest at night, strange occurrences lead Bender to believe the story is more than just legend. Whatever you do, don’t go into the woods at night!

Wow!

John just keeps playing the hits! I grew up in the country and as a kid, I remember the old wives tales about spooky things that creep around in the woods at night. This story takes me back. Don’t hesitate to add this one to your collection. Fantastic work!

Stealing doesn't pay!

Bender and his friend, Danny, are good boys, but one day, the temptation to steal valuable baseball cards is just too much! When they are caught, their punishment is to go to a boot camp out in the woods around Summersville Lake. The purpose of the camp is to teach the boys how to do better with their lives and make their parents proud instead of being a disappointment.


One of the camp counselors tells a scary campfire story about beings called grimmics that roam the West Virginia woods. Not only do they capture and eat people, they can also mimic voices in order to lure people into the same fate! Bender swears that he is hearing these creatures roaming around at night. Add in a dark, spooky cave with strange smells and voices and you have start of some creepy events!

This is a fun book for readers of all ages (although it is geared for a younger crowd). Full of just enough creepy moments along with the typical antics and fun of young boys, it is another great addition to this wonderful series. I just wish these books had been around when I was in the target age!

Keep banging them out.

Another awesome Scareville book. Dylan Holt does great with narration, as always with these books. I cant wait to see what he comes up with next.

The woods be creepy!

I had a fun time with this story!! I think if I were to critique it at all, I just wish there had been more of it! The creatures in this one were super unique and I definitely enjoyed them being described. There’s also something to be said about how the woods are just naturally creepy, especially after dark. So I think that anything that adds to that fear, is good horror in my opinion! Can’t wait to read more Scareville!
