For hundreds of years, humankind has cowered within the warmth of campfires, beneath a canopy of twinkling stars, safe in the shelter of the surrounding trees. We've pitched our tents, set up our camping chairs, and breathed in the fresh air of nature and freedom.

Until it all goes horribly wrong...

Until whatever lurks in the shadows edges closer, undaunted by the flame, reaching for our ankles, running a gnarled finger through our hair, caressing our backs in a deathly chill. 

Huddle closer to the flames now...Don't you dare look behind you.
