Author Chaz Williams won last month’s contest, and taken up the challenge to host this month. Here’s his theme:
“It’s gonna be a wet, hot summer this year. Which means kids and counselors alike are out to have fun at camp, unaware of the horrors that lurk in the shadows of the forest. Has a sadistic couple stumbled upon a new camp that’s just opened? Is there a supernatural being ready to claim its pound of flesh? Or maybe it’s a curse on the grounds of the camp that will rain havoc down on all those who stand upon it. Let your imagination run wild so we never want to see a summer camp again!”
