Description

Modern-day America. Fifteen Boy Scouts and their seven adult leaders are found to have committed suicide in the forest of a scout reservation. One of the dead boys is a friend of Sparky Wallace, whose father Jack runs a Polish restaurant in Chicago. Drawn into investigating the suicides, Jack discovers a connection with his own grandfather, who killed himself in the Kampinos Forest in Poland when he was fighting the Nazis in World War II.

Together, Jack and Sparky travel to Poland to unlock the terrifying mystery of what really makes people panic in the forest. But before they can do so, they have to experience panic for themselves, and reach the very brink of madness.

The book smoothly and masterly moves through a strikingly diverse series of modes, from the early scenes of mysterious suicides in the forest of a scout reservation (US), to terrifying investigation of a dark past in Poland, and gloomy and dangerous mysteries dating back to the bleak days of the World War II. Masterton amazingly masterly weaves the back story of mystery and intrigue, menacing terror waiting for a unsuspecting victim, weird deeds and blood legacy, etc. These elements are among the strongest of Masterton’s abilities as a horror-writer.

And (as always) there are very strong prose, believable characters, tight-plotting, atmosphere, dark emotions, interesting locations, thoroughly created main storyline and back story, great pacing, strong sense of ‘been there, done that’, accurate description of modern Poland, etc.

Good horror-thriller from the always reliable author, 4/5.
