The Snipe Hunt

If Coraline grew up in the South, this would be her story. What starts as a harmless prank in the woods turns deadly when five teens stumble into something ancient... and hungry. New girl Clover Portis agrees to a late-night snipe hunt hoping to fit in. Instead, she finds herself trapped deep in Karma Creek Woods as a long-buried legend wakes beneath the trees. Cut off from help and hunted through the dark, the teens must rely on their wits-- and each other-- to survive the night.
As fear fractures friendships and secrets come to light, Clover discovers a strength she never knew she had. But in the woods, not every monster has claws, and not everyone makes it out unchanged. The Snipe Hunt is a chilling Southern Gothic survival story that weaves folklore, friendship, and fear into a gripping coming-of-age nightmare. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and survival classics like Hatchet.
