Bigfoot Must Die

A thrilling, coming-of-age horror novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls and How to Sell a Haunted House.

Everyone thought they knew these boys. Scott was the class clown, Jason was the jock. Randall was the good kid, Brian was weird. And Drew? Drew was trouble.

Turns out, they didn’t know these boys at all.

The year is 1986, the summer before eighth grade, and three months of messing around in the woods, renting videos, and playing Atari stretch out before five boys from Greenville, South Carolina. They’ve been inseparable for as long as they can remember, but then a dangerous prank gets them in serious trouble and leaves the group fractured.

The only adult in their lives who isn’t angry with them is their Scoutmaster, Rick, and he plans a thirty mile hike up remote Glassytop Mountain that he hopes will bring them back together. But on the steep and winding trail, as night closes in, they find themselves face to face with the most dangerous creature in American legend. What chance do a bunch of thirteen-year-old screw-ups have against Bigfoot?

With no one to rely on but each other, the boys find themselves in a desperate fight for survival.
