Camping is one summertime activity that can go from fantastic to terrifying in a second. Whether you're scared of bear attacks, murderous mountainfolk, killer ghosts, or landslides, I've picked out 15 spooky wilderness books to read aloud while camping, so you can bring a dangerous thrill to your next woodsy vacation without actually putting yourself in danger.

Camping can be a wonderful way to get away from it all, especially if you're trying to do a digital detox this summer. Communing with nature often means being without good cell service, and you can pretty much forget about Wi-Fi and electricity entirely. If you're planning to read on your camping trip, you're going to have to do it the old fashioned way — on paper, by fire- or lantern-light.

There are plenty of spooky reads out there that will send chills down your spine, even in the hottest months, but spending your fireside time reading a thriller or horror novel set in the wilderness will add an extra layer of terror to your summer camping trip. I've picked out 10 novels I think will be perfect for thrill-seekers to read on vacation — just don't read them if you want to get a good nights sleep.
