At Camp Friend-Indeed, something sinister waits beneath the surface.

In The Night of the Moonbow, acclaimed author Thomas Tryon crafts a chilling, atmospheric novel that blends coming-of-age nostalgia with slow-burning psychological horror. The story follows a brilliant but sensitive boy named Lewis as he attends an idyllic summer camp designed to shape young boys into strong, patriotic men. But beneath the camp’s cheerful façade lies a growing undercurrent of cruelty, pressure, and fear.

 

Isolated, misunderstood, and driven by unseen forces, Lewis begins to unravel. What starts as a story of youth and friendship soon twists into something far darker—a descent into paranoia, vengeance, and tragedy.

 

First published in 1984, The Night of the Moonbow remains a haunting tale of psychological suspense, social pressure, and the darkness that can live in even the most innocent of places.
