The Man With No Shadow

The Horse-Eater

This book is the physical edition of a series of posts from Reddit's r/nosleep subreddit, containing the first major storyline of "How to Survive Camping". It is largely unaltered, with only minor edits for readability in print form. Every year, campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled "How to Survive Your Camping Experience." In it is a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campground's... other... inhabitants. With the campground in the throes of a 'bad year', it'll take a lot more than a list of rules to keep everyone safe. Monsters that were previously dormant are starting to stir and they're waking up hungry. Among them is the Lady in Chains, a creature feared by both human and inhuman thing alike. Her reappearance creates an upheaval in the balance of power in the campground by renewing an old grudge with the harvesters, who are willing to sacrifice anyone they get their hands on in order to gain an advantage. On top of all this, the man with the skull cup has started taking an unusual interest in Kate. But with the harvesters on the prowl, the Lady in Chains hunting her down, and a sinister spider infestation, Kate is going to need all the allies she can get, even if those allies aren't actually... human.

How to Survive Camping: The Lady in Chains

Goat Valley Campground has killed generations of Kate's family. The land is old, passed down through generations, but the campground's reputation doesn't just draw campers year after year. Creatures from folklore and horror have made Goat Valley not just their home, but their hunting ground. As campground manager, Kate has rules to protect her campers--if the man with the skull cup offers you a drink, accept it or you will die a gruesome death; don't buy ice from the children with no wagon; and of course, never ever follow the lights. Still, not every camper follows the rules...which means not every camper survives their stay.
