Possibly a reference to the snake creature in Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), or the giant snake in Resident Evil (1996). Mordecai tells them that they'll have enough gas to get to the cabin, "but getting back, that's your concern. The Director urges Dana to kill Marty to complete the ritual, as all other rituals failed that year.

I have read many books by this author and they have all been excellent, looking forward to the next one. I wouldn't say it's bringing anything new to the "creepy cabin in the woods" type genre but its still a good and captivating read. not only that but i was still in the edge of my seat during the whole book and i couldn't put it down once i started reading. Taut in pace and brimming with suspense… I was absolutely hooked and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.

As wild places become increasingly scarce and threatened, John Muir’s writing is more important than ever.i clarify this part first, obviously, just in case someone doesn't want to read those topics, but also to clarify i deal with none of those things first hand, so i can't speak in terms of how the representation was done. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of thrillers, mysteries or even just a fast-paced read.
