Few campers at Camp Apple Hill Farm have found the mysterious cabin rumored to be hidden deep in the woods—but those who have whisper of a mysterious woman who tells tales of horrors beyond imagination. Are you brave enough to visit Cabin 23?

Join Justina Ireland, author of Tales from Cabin 23: The Boo Hag Flex  and Hanna Alkaf, author of Tales from Cabin 23: Night of the Living Head as they discuss the Tales from Cabin 23 series.
