Book Description

Three days ago, eight-year-old Tobias Hollowbrook vanished during a camping trip deep in the forests of Blackthorne Valley.

Search teams combed the mountains. Temperatures dropped below freezing. Hope died slowly in the mist-covered pines.

Then Tobias came back.

Alone. Unharmed. Perfectly clean.

But the boy who walks out of the forest is not the same child who disappeared.

His voice is wrong. His movements are too precise. He speaks in whispers he should never know, revealing secrets buried deep within his mother’s past—things no one else could possibly know. As fear spreads through the Hollowbrook home, Beatrice begins to suspect that whatever returned from the woods wearing her son’s face may not be human at all.

And somewhere beyond the trees, another person is still missing.

Dark, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling, After the Camping Trip is a chilling psychological horror novel about grief, motherhood, buried guilt, and the terrifying possibility that some things should never come home.
