The Bear Is Here

by Greg T. Nanni

Four teens reunite to camp in the woods. A murderous bear is out there, disturbing the park. A young writer, Liz, is now stranded with three men in a forest where madness seems to bleed into reality; where the unknown is just as terrifying as the known. A dark comedy about horror movie tropes, toxic masculinity, and what women have to do to survive in a world with men.

    A revealing look at the horror that can occur in the woods and the toxic masculinity women need to survive in. Well done.
