September. A beautiful New York editor retreats to a lonely cabin on a hill in the quiet Maine beach town of Dead River--off season--awaiting her sister and friends. Nearby, a savage human family with a taste for flesh lurks in the darkening woods, watching, waiting for the moon to rise and night to fall.... And before too many hours pass, five civilized, sophisticated people and one tired old country sheriff will learn just how primitive we all are beneath the surface...and that there are no limits at all to the will to survive.

Gruesome! The amount of body limbs flying off is quite staggering.
But that's not the most shocking. Not even the cannibalism. No, the most shocking was when Carla threw her lunch bag into the stream! It really give you a real sense of the era which this was written, when trash was tossed wherever you were. Back when Indians cried pleading for a cleaner America. It really stood out to for me to read that.
