How to Survive Camping: The Lady in Chains

You'll laugh, you'll scream, you'll never look at a spider the same way again

By: Bonnie Quinn

Narrated by: Jeremy Carlisle Parker

Campground manager Kate returns in this supernatural, campy, funny horror tale filled with mysterious monsters and spine-chilling encounters – perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, Welcome to Night Vale and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight.

Every year, Goat Valley Campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled ‘How to Survive Your Camping Experience’. It contains a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campground’s other… inhabitants.

But this year it will take more than a list of rules to keep everyone safe. Monsters that were previously lying dormant are starting to stir, and they’re waking up hungry. Among them is the Lady in Chains, a creature feared by both human and inhuman things alike.

Her reappearance creates an upheaval in the balance of power in the campground by renewing an old grudge with the harvesters, who are willing to sacrifice anyone they get their hands on in order to gain an advantage.

With the harvesters on the prowl, the Lady in Chains hunting her down and a sinister spider infestation to deal with, it looks like Kate is going to have her hands full keeping her campers alive, and she’ll need all the allies she can get.

Even if those allies aren’t actually… human.

Based on the popular r/NoSleep Reddit stories, How to Survive Camping is an unputdownable horror series that will terrify you and make you laugh in equal measure.

Critic reviews

‘Chilling, brilliant, and a perfect escalation of the premise. Not for the arachnophobia. Seriously. I mean it. Everyone else should read it, though. Family ties, burdens, and betrayals, all wrapped up in a clever cobweb of elegant writing and beautiful pacing’ (SEANAN MCGUIRE)
