This is one of the better reads I've come across in the mystery/horror genre. The format of a investigative journalist podcaster who returns to the subject of the strange death of a teenage boy (ruled misadventure) twenty years before near an outbound camp for children and teenagers was unique and refreshing. As the podcaster interviews locals and the members of the group (now adults) who were closest to the victim, hidden facts and deep incites into the group's dynamic begin to be peeled away like layers of an onion. And, always in the background there is the suspicion that the boy's death could be linked to the local mythos of a creature said to prowl the region. The story is well-written and includes a nice twist at the end.
