About this eBook

A cancelled star. A cursed camp. And a killer who doesn’t care if you’re trending...


A whole lot of bloody fun with a serious message at its heart’ CJ. Tudor

‘Beautifully written and impossible to put down’ Fiona Cummins

This book is incredible! I can’t recommend Heads Will Roll enough’ William Hussey

--

Cancelled after a drunken, ill-advised post, TV-star Willow McKenzie is sent to Camp Castaway – a retreat in the woods where you hide from your mistakes.

Spoiler #1: there’s nowhere to hide.

That first night, fellow campers gather round a fire, telling ghost stories. And Willow hears the tale of Knock-Knock Nancy – a beheaded local woman whose spirit still roams the woods.

Spoiler #2: she takes her victim’s heads.

Willow doesn’t believe in ghosts – until next day, a camper vanishes. And, that evening, Willow hears it:

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Spoiler #3: It’s already too late . . .
