Detective Matt Stone only wanted one quiet night off.
Instead, the dead came out of the trees.
Camping in northern Wisconsin with his longtime partner and a handful of strangers, Stone is cut off from the rest of the state as the outbreak begins. The radio is dying. The road is blocked. The campfire is drawing things from the dark.
A retired corrections officer knows a route north. A quiet bowhunter may be the only person who understands the woods. A terrified family needs protection. And Stone, already running on anger and restraint, has to keep everyone moving before the campground becomes a graveyard.
The only possible shelter lies ahead at Black Pine Correctional.
But walls do not always mean safety.
The Last Campfire is a dark, fast-paced Cedar Town Outbreak short novella featuring Detective Matt Stone’s first night of the collapse.
