A hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes bone-chilling collection of summer stories to share around a campfire, in a tent, or on the dock.
Time to hit the road: the minivan is packed, the cooler is chock full, and the lake beckons. Summer is the perfect setting for sharing short stories at the cottage, around the campfire, in the tent, or on the long ride to camp.
The Death Swing at Falcon Lake has a story for every occasion. There are epic tales of neighbourhood battles over the best fort, harrowing myths of the bravery it takes to walk to the outhouse in the dark, embarrassing recounts of first love at summer camp, and maybe even a legend about the monster watching you from the shadows while you read this very book.
Raconteur Jeremy John delivers another hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally scary collection of short stories ideal for summer reading.
Praise for Jeremy John:
Jeremy John is a master of putting himself into the mindset of a kid and capturing the magic and mystery of a good scary tale. [The Strange Grave of Mikey Dunbar] collection of short stories is easy to read and best read in the dark with a flashlight. Pay Chen, TV & radio host
A fun read for all ages. And a little off the hinge in all the right places. Tarzan Dan, host of Q107 Calgary
