About this audiobook
It was the summer of 1965. Ray, Tim, and Jennifer were just three teenage friends hanging out in the campgrounds, drinking a little. But Tim and Jennifer didn't know what their friend Ray had in mind. And if they'd known, they wouldn't have thought he was serious. Then they saw what he did to the two girls at the neighboring campsite—and knew he was dead serious. Four years later, the 60s were drawing to a close. No one ever charged Ray with the murders in the campgrounds, but there was one cop determined to make him pay. Ray figured he was in the clear. Tim and Jennifer thought the worst was behind them, that the horrors were all in the past. They were wrong. The worst was yet to come.

well written but i was put off by the homophobic undertones (it seemed like the author was implying that it was worse that the girls that are killed in the prologue weren’t even lesbians, and the prison bitch bit at the end) and the fact that the text defends an old man sleeping with a girl just out of high school. the female characters felt stilted and more like props for the male characters to use and abuse than characters in their own right.1 person found this helpful

Really dated and too much focus on blood and cuts. I finished it, but not impressed. And to make orientated. All the nice girls died.1 person found this helpful

This is a perfectly paced, horrific tale of a spree of depraved, maniacal, murderous lunacy,.. wonderfully read, and almost completely ruined by its poor editing… the writer, readers, and listeners deserve better. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

This audiobook doesn’t sync up with the book. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be that way or not, but that makes it discouraging to listen to because I’m not sure which version is true or if the audiobook is leaving something out or not - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5
