Description

The Miller woods is a vast mysterious forest, known for numerous cold-case unsolved disappearances. Cory Dunn was only fourteen when he got lost in The Miller Woods, spending a night in it. He was the only one to return after several hours, ending up in a psychiatric ward when he reappeared the next day. After the incident, the local government issued the order that the woods are now off-limits to everybody. Questions still remain unanswered about what happened as large fences with barbed wire and electricity on it are needed to keep thrill-seekers out.

Now Cory is sixteen and rejoining society, starting school at Miller high, joining Sid and his friends in class. With his appearance, rumours start making their rounds again, about what supposedly happened to him.

Sid and his friends love anything that has to do with horror, thriller, and mystery. And Cory Dunn's story is filled with those elements, as the boy never told anyone what happened in the woods. Adamant about finding answers to the mystery, Sid and his friends use a major power outage all over town to sneak into the woods.

What they didn't anticipate on, is the fact something might follow them out of the woods...

Yea, from the title you can guess whta I think about this novel.
The story idea is amazing because it's like supposed to be a scary got ya type thing but the execution is poor because the author doesn't pace the character interactions AT ALL. Cory (in the house) is supposed to not like talking about his "incident" but he opens super fucking fast to the group of friends like a flower in a summer jubely.
Like he made the characters have a purpose but he doesn't make them like people. Do you get me? Ok, do you remember the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers? The characters in this are exactly like the body snatchers; they don't act like humans even though they are "human". The way the characters interact with each other is the only thing killing this whole fucking novel for me.
When I read the first chapter I thought, "Oh, maybe the next chapter won't be so stiff with the interactions." and I was wrong. I'm about 87% sure that high schoolers (or whatever) don't interact like these characters.
Everything else with this stories pretty awesome.
EDIT:AFter looking at the story from a different point of view I released that it all makes sense.
