The year is 1980, and eight camp counselors are preparing a summer camp for fifty kids who are scheduled to arrive soon. All goes smoothly until two of the newest counselors go missing in the middle of the night. The camp director sends his two most experienced counselors to look for the missing couple. One of the counselors, Lloyd Keller, and his girlfriend soon discover the grim fate of the missing counselors. They return to camp to find it has been taken over by six escapees from a local mental institution. In the ensuing torture and torment, Keller is left for dead but makes a desperate attempt to save his colleagues before the bus full of children arrives. Forest of Glass is a shockingly violent horror novel reminiscent of such classic films as Friday the 13th, Deliverance and Die Hard.
