Bookroo's summary

Tasha Washington's summer at Shady Pines trailer park turns eerie when an elderly neighbor dies mysteriously. Her new friend Ellie claims a creature is behind it, but Tasha is skeptical. As more residents fall ill and a book of hoodoo legends surfaces, Tasha must confront the chilling possibility that the stories are real. Can she unravel the mystery before the lurking danger claims another victim?

From the publisher

Few campers at Camp Apple Hill Farm have found the mysterious cabin rumored to be hidden deep in the woods–but those who have whisper of a mysterious woman who tells tales of horrors beyond imagination. Are you brave enough to visit Cabin 23?The last thing Tasha Washington wants is to move from her home in Savannah to a trailer park in Middle-of-Nowhere, Georgia. But when her mother dies and Tasha is taken in by her father–a man she’s never met, who abandoned her mom when Tasha was just a baby–she doesn’t have much of a choice. At least, she thinks, she won’t have to spend much time with him–something that becomes clear when he dumps Tasha with her grandmother and disappears to be with his new girlfriend.The Shady Pines trailer park seems like a miserable place to spend a summer, even before an elderly neighbor suddenly passes away. But then Tasha meets a girl named Ellie who says she knows what really killed old Mr. Harold: a terrifying creature that stalks the trailer park at night, sucking the life from its victims. Tasha doesn’t believe it, but when she discovers a book of hoodoo legends in her grandmother’s trailer, and more people around Shady Pines start to appear unwell, she begins to fear the stories are true–and that danger is much closer than she thinks.And don’t miss the second book in the Tales from Cabin 23 series: Night of the Living Head!
