A hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes bone-chilling collection of summer stories to share around a campfire, in a tent, or on the dock.

Time to hit the road: the minivan is packed, the cooler is chock full, and the lake beckons. Summer is the perfect setting for sharing short stories at the cottage, around the campfire, in the tent, or on the long ride to camp.

The Death Swing at Falcon Lake has a story for every occasion. There are epic tales of neighbourhood battles over the best fort, harrowing myths of the bravery it takes to walk to the outhouse in the dark, embarrassing accounts of first love at summer camp, and maybe even a legend about the monster watching you from the shadows while you read this very book.

Raconteur Jeremy John delivers another hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes bone-chilling collection of short stories ideal for summer reading.

Jeremy John is keeping the short story alive with this collection of sweet, funny, tart, and romantic tales.
