After being introduced at a friends party, Tim and Luke go on their first date in the New Jersey woods, which happens to be the same area as 12 years earlier when Tim and a childhood friend had a chilling encounter with a stranger and an eerie abandoned house. Or did they?  Tim has issues with alcohol and memory; however Luke may be exactly what Tim needs to confront his past and take control of his future.The story takes a terrifying turn as they venture deeper into the woods and discover some things from childhood may be better left uncovered.Even in his shorter novels Josh imbues his characters with such vulnerability and emotion that the reader can not help but become involved with their actions and potential outcomes. He also has a way of combining the subtle romantic moments with the truly frightful, either way this is one of his best shorter novels.Highly recommend!
