Which is, to my mind, one of the very best times to read horror – especially horror that takes place in the woods. It’s all part of the experience.īut what if there’s something else in the woods with you? Something predatory, something dead, some shambling hulk that considers your tent a convenient food wrapper? What if you look up at the stars and realize none of them are where they’re supposed to be? What’s crashing through the woods, just beyond the flickering firelight? You’re out in the woods, in the dark, with zero cell service and a long dark hike to the ranger’s station. You’ll deal with the cold, the rain, the bugs. If an old tree decides to give up the fight and comes crashing down, let’s hope your tent isn’t directly under it.īut these things are all, to some extent, expected (except the tree – that was admittedly a touch over the top). If the temperature drops, you’ll likely freeze. When you camp – really camp, I mean hike into your site with all your gear on your back – you are to no small extent putting yourself at the mercy of the elements.
