Don't camp out of season
Engrossing quick read that makes you second guess camping. Especially when warned of what may lurk in the forest waiting.

THE REAL REVIEW
We Never Left: A Campfire Tale – Standalone Short Story
By: L.M. Kaplin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Length: 32 pages
Content Warnings: Mild horror imagery, implied danger
Wait—what? This was my first read by L.M. Kaplin, and even though it's short, We Never Left absolutely delivers. A perfect little story for when you're in the mood for just a touch of fear, fog, and well-crafted tension.
It may be a short story, but it grabs you like a full-length book. Kaplin’s style is phenomenal—transporting you right into the woods alongside these women, making you feel their fear and rising desperation. In just a few pages, he builds atmosphere, escalation, and closure. It’s a complete experience.
This story officially put Kaplin on my radar—I'll definitely be reading more from him soon.
