Just before a canyon is to be gutted for a development, Justin and his controlling father go there on a camping trip along with Justin‘s son. A tense weekend becomes more so when outside forces intrude. Both in the woods and at home with Justin‘s wife, Percy explores wildness and savagery within nature and ourselves. CW below under the spoiler tag for dog lovers.

Hooked_on_books The dog doesn‘t survive. It‘s off the page but still pretty upsetting. 5mo

I think I was hoping for more of a man vs nature vs man... but definitely man vs man in a very dark way. Very good still.

Making my own notes in the margins tonight. Feeding the writer brain with a re-read of a book that still haunts me with its vivid descriptions and slow-building dread. Trying to find some inspiration. #readlikeawriter
