Twelve six-year-olds and their three adult chaperones head into the woods on a camping trip. None of them make it out alive.
The Laws of the Skies follows the terrified children as they scatter into the night to escape danger, dressed only in their pajamas. They face their darkest childhood fears and new imaginary threats, like trolls masquerading as boulders and child-eating tree trunks.
A harrowing story of those days in the woods, of illness, poisoning, and accidents; of a love triangle among tots; a pint-sized hero; and a child on a murderous rampage that comes to a grisly end. Part fairy tale, part horror story, this macabre fable takes us through the minds of all the members of this doomed part, murderers and murdered alike.

    for the rescue team to find Hugo, hidden under thick ferns, in the ditch where he fell. But the child had died long before, and, with him, our hope
  • namjoons lasttiddiehas quoted2 years ago
    Who is to say whether you deserve what is happening to you? Whether you were asking for it? Who is to say that caterpillars deserve to be thrown to the voracious larvae of the potter wasp? The only truth that exists now is that the boar is still hungry, and that there is still something left to eat.

    The boar gets agitated; it strikes you with its head and hooves, to shut you up, and because that terrifies you even more and you scream even louder, it lunges at your face and bites your mouth. You choke and heave as the boar rubs its snout and tongue on your open mouth, licks you, maybe swallows the blood dripping from your mouth
