A cowboy and his married jock buddy camp out in an ancient forest — but they aren't alone.
Jack seemed more than curious, but then things got weird. Was his wife really a witch, or was something evil out to keep us from finishing what we started in a haunted house at graduation?
Whatever was in the woods with us didn't want me to live to tell about it.
Excerpt:
Jack didn't need to know. We never talked about my trips. Jack the jock. I couldn't picture him in a gay bar, a [censored] palace, a dungeon. But this, what was this?
The forbidden-looking abandoned place chilled me, but being so near Jack I felt his body heat and remembered things.
At the center of the charred structures, the timbers held strong on a massive piece that reached into the trees. Rungs mounted it to a platform with a trapdoor hanging open at its center. A noose swayed above it.
