Texas Campfire Stories: Four Nights at Camp Blackwater

Welcome to Camp Blackwater. Unplug. Make friends. Try to survive.

The Summer I Turned Pretty meets The Magnus Archives in this chilling, four-part horror anthology set in a suffocating Texas summer camp where nature doesn’t just call—it consumes.

Camp Blackwater is supposed to be a sanctuary for teenagers to unplug, but the isolated hill country terrain hides a dark history of teeth, roots, and abyssal depths. Four Nights follows four interconnected stories of survival and cosmic dread: a miserable teenager trapped at the bottom of a limestone fissure facing a nightmare; two competitive swimmers who accidentally summon a ancient evil from a hidden lake trench; a teenage Dungeon Master whose soul is hollowed out by buried tribal parasite; and a lonely outcast searching for a new home. Rich with atmospheric Texas dread, body horror, and a moving LGBTQ+ romance at its core, M. V. James delivers a nostalgic yet deeply terrifying look at what happens when the isolation of the wilderness turns predatory. Perfect for fans of creature features, psychological suspense, and survival horror.
