I was a bit unsure about this book after reading the synopsis. However, I assure everyone that not only is Sarah Jane Huntington a solid writer, but this is a really good cosmic horror! The character base is smaller, but they are established, thoroughly explored, and all have satisfying finales. While there is a beast running around, with the entire story revolving around its existence, there is so much more going on. Ambitions, manipulation, revenge, friendship and a huge variety of themes are all covered, each working off one another, and all staying very pertinent to the central premise. The balancing act done here is superb, and the details, specifically of the cult scene in the beginning and Allister’s mindset really stuck out to me. Huntington’s story and style made me think of Hunter Shea quite a bit, although still with a very unique stylization. The only thing that I would have dialed down a bit is Max. I just disliked his character for so many reasons, and felt that he was a bit too over the top with some of his dialogue. But that is a very minor bit of a feedback to a rather awesome showing here.

Great cover, and a super foreword from Damien Casey.
A cabin in the woods, a cult, and a character named Kathleen who I absolutely loved, even more so when I read the notes at the end of the book which explained Sarah's inspiration for including Kathleen. No, I'm not crying...you are.
What else did I enjoy about this book? The dark humor, the 'found footage' feel, great twists and turns, and its bittersweet undercurrent.
The only reason it's not 5 stars from me is because it's not one of my preferred sub-genres, but if you enjoy all the things I've mentioned and some cosmic creature-feature to boot I'm certain it will suit you very well.
Sarah Hunt's vivid imagination is a rare thing.

A tremendously fun read! Sarah Jane Huntington has an excellent style, a penchant for realistic dialogue, and a flair for vivid characterization. The characters come to life and fuel the story: I loved Jane and despised Max. There's more than enough gore and horror here to satisfy, too.
My favorite part was the backstory of Allister Hunt, a physician who opened a portal to another dimension at his cabin in the woods, the eponymous cabin terror, and unleashed a Bigfoot-like creature in 1984.
After an episode in 1989, the story moves to 2020 and follows Jane as she pursues a documentary about Hunt's cabin. The terror, of course, ensues.

Putting aside the fact that I feel like I’m advertising myself; this book is a blast. The perfect callback to the paperbacks from hell era of horror but set in modern day. Sarah Jane has great vision for these kinds of stories and she knows how to create monsters. I can’t recommend this enough!

** Edited as review is now live on Kendall Reviews! **
As you’ve come to know by now, I’m a huge fan of all books (big or small) where we get a cabin in the woods and something mysterious lurking. Add in cult/occult/curse storylines and I’m practically giddy.
‘Cabin Terror’ ticks all of those boxes, so going in, I was trying to keep my excitement in check and see if we get to read a book that does all of those elements justice.
What I liked: ‘Cabin Terror’ follows three friends, Jane, Becca and Grace, as they descend on a cabin in the middle of the woods to make a film for Jane’s college class.
Jane brings them here, because many years ago, a cult summoned forth a creature and now that creature supposedly stalks the woods around the area.
We get some great side stories with elderly neighbor, Kathleen, some anxiety-inducing moments when things are heard and lights are spotted and ultimately when we do see the creature and have those moments with it, the tension ramps right up and the gore arrives.
Jane, as a character, is all over the map. We want to root for her, then loathe her, then root for her and the same goes for her friends, Becca and Grace. There’s a lot of interpersonal dynamics at work and the lead in plot involving Max really works well to set up the ending.
What I didn’t like: I think there were aspects that were underdeveloped when compared to how much they were hyped. Case in point, we frequently get told about caves and how the caves are important, yet they play no role in the story at all.
As well, I think the story faltered a bit between trying to make up its mind between a creature feature and a cult/strange thing from somewhere else story.
Lastly, I don’t know if I fully buy the ‘why’ for the Max angle and the ending.
Why you should buy this: If you’re like me and really dig “what is going on” in the woods books, look no further. The pacing is frantic, the characters are a lot of fun and you’ll never want to rent a cabin ever again!

Having read her collections, I couldn't wait to dive into Sarah's first novel. And loved it! Action and scares from the very first page and continued throughout. A mix of occcult and cosmic horror, it follows two separate protagonists. One, a woman living alone in the woods where the entity lurks and hunts, and a group of 3 women out in the cabin where the original horrors took place to film any paranormal activity for a university project. What could possibly go wrong?
With plenty of twists and turns, I read this in just 2 days, and now, of course, I need a sequel.
Excellent job!

What I loved most about this book was the way the author deals with what might be called 'fortean' phenomena.
Often in supernatural/occult fiction there seems to be a need for plots to impose a clumsy and simplistic rationale onto the strange events taking place. All too frequently, this drains away the true horror that could be there - the unutterable terror of coming up against forces which defy all attempts at explanation.
Here, however, odd lights in the sky, which feel as if they have some connection with UFO lore, are intermingled with occurrences of a type often attributed to poltergeist hauntings and with glimpses of a beast or entity that carries shades of Bigfoot sightings.
Not only does this make for a far more uncanny story but, somewhat counterintuitively, it also felt more realistic to me. Or, at least, less like deliberate fiction. If you have ever studied so-called 'high strangeness' accounts of mysterious but reportedly true incidents, you will appreciate what I mean.
In the most disturbingly fascinating accounts, reports of strange lights, paranormal happenings, unidentifiable entities, and so forth, do not come across as discrete phenomena but rather as facets of a greater, ungraspable whole. You shiver at the sense that human experience might unexpectedly intersect with reality of a different sort, with an existence so alien to the people involved that they can only interpret what is happening by resorting to inadequate ideas taken from popular culture.
This is the deep cosmic horror that CABIN TERROR succeeds in capturing.
Meanwhile, running through the book are multiple stories in which the dynamics between characters continually uncover more layers, propelling the narrative forward.
Altogether an intensely readable and enjoyable novel.
(4.5 stars, rounded up)

One of the best starts to a books out there! Knew straight away that this was for me. Fantastic twist and one of the best characters I've read for a long time. Sarah Jane Huntington is no joke and pulls no punches. Would love to see this as a movie and will definitely be following this author's work closely.
November 22, 2021
Not read many cosmic slashers but took the plunge, but Huntington's debut novel, 'Cabin Terror' is not just that - it has myriad threads riffing on found footage movies, becoming famous that way,being a final girls, King's Carrie, Cabin in the Woods and shades of Lovecraft. It is a pacy, racy, entertaining horror romp which zips along and is, another bonus for this reader, filled with feisty femmes even if the lead Jane, is rather extreme vengeful-and co- starring as the amazing Kathleen, a senior one-woman army who literally goes face to face with the monster and gives it its name. Loved her and her attitude.The ending has a twist too which I didn't gues..
Sales from this novel are raising funds for charity too, so support this book and donate to a good cause too.

I have absolutely loved Sarah's short story collections. She manages to always pack a huge gut punch into a small number of words. When I saw that this standalone novel was out, I knew I had to add it to my collection right away.
I was most certainly not disappointed. The thing that struck me the most was the simple fact that you immediately feel immersed in the world that she has created, but, and this is the important thing, the beginning didn't feel at all rushed. I liked that fine balancing act that she had managed with that. I wanted to know more about the characters, their flaws, and their personalities as soon as I started reading, and that's a really hard thing for an author to manage. Believe me, I've tried and failed more times than I would like to admit.
Another thing that I liked about this book was that it wore its inspirations on its sleeve without feeling like a pastiche of them. Instead, it took those influences and inspirations and made them into something completely and utterly gripping. I can't say too much about the story itself without giving spoilers, so I will say this instead. If you like tales that sound like they would be at home next to classic movies such as The Keep, Friday the 13th, and even the legendary X-Files television show, then this is definitely the book for you.
It is already one of my top contenders for favourite books of 2022.

Well shiiitttt.
Oh my gosh this is sooooo good. Like the first chapter is a little different to the rest of the book. Then BOOM. You got Kathlean bursting onto the scene and I want to be her when I grow up. I love her! The story kind of loops back around and there are flashbacks and a never saw it coming twist to. Jane is an asshole and I know a girl just like her. Makes you wonder who the real monsters are. Like who do you fear when such bad people exist along with a scary ass monster.
The story just kind of takes you along for a wild ride and there are dark shocking gross bits. It all has deeper meanings to. I was like what! Oh shiitt! No! Yeah!! Oh hell no!! What!! Fu*k! No!! That ending tho. Well, shiittt.
Kind of also gives you the view that old people are not useless. It's a pont you know, why should all final girls be young and pretty? They shouldn't.
Says alot about society that nobody did this before.
I pray this takes off because it should. Fu*k mainstream stuff when you get books like this.

Great horror romp!
Occult, slasher, murder - and romance gone wrong - blends into an entertaining and fun read. Thoroughly enjoyable homage to the cabin in the woods!

I've had my eye on this book for a while and was really looking forward to checking it out. So, here I am, checking it out. 😁
It all starts in 1984, with Allister and his cult of followers messing with doorways to other dimensions. His obsession lets in a monster who continues to stalk the woods decades later. Kathleen has lived in these woods all of her life and remembers the violent havoc this creature has caused. Now, three girls enter the abandoned cabin and might make everything worse...
Okay. Let me start with that intense first chapter. Wow. 👀
That was quite an exciting piece of writing. The atmosphere, location, situation and players are introduced in a series of fast-paced creepy, bloody scenes that just don't stop. And I enjoyed the hell out of every second.
With a beginning like this, I couldn't wait to see what the rest of the story was going to be like. And I wasn't disappointed because Kathleen was a treasure to read about. She's tough and brave, such an interesting and lovely character. Then Jane and her two friends enter the cabin, bringing a whole lot of new trouble to the area. As her memories unravel, revealing what led her to this particular spot, I got lost in Jane's tale of betrayal, deception and ambition.
I really enjoyed this action-packed story of cosmic horror featuring a terrifying creature from another world. Though, by the time I reached that awesome ending, I couldn't help but wonder who the real monsters were. And isn't that usually the case when we're dealing with humans?
Well, this turned out to be fantastic and super fun, but also dealt with quite a few heavy themes! Plus, I'm always a sucker for cultish shenanigans and anything featuring a creepy cabin in the woods. 😈

Wow, what a story, I was gripped from the first page. Allister is a creepy guy, even when he's not summoning demons. I loved the story within a story; the layers just kept revealing twists and turns that I didn't see coming. The characters are well-thought-out and believable, even when events take an unexpected turn. It's not a genre I usually read, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed. Each chapter reveals some new horror, be it the monster or human nature. It's one of the best books I have read this year. I loved Kathleen, a brave woman and was delighted to read that she was based on someone the author had met.

This is the first book I have read from Huntington, and it left me with no doubt that I need to read more. Before I get to the core of the book -my feelings about it and the staggered presentation of the story (skipping forwards and backward in time), I have to concentrate on Sarah’s voice. The prose is concise, the descriptions vivid, and the sentence structuring is used to great effect. You get a feel of the author knowing instinctively when to change up to shorter sentences to make the reader breathe more quickly. Vulgarity isn’t shied away from when required. Gore is described fluidly and cleanly.
It’s solid writing.
That impressed me a lot, I felt both comfortable in Sarah’s plot and in her presentation of that plot. I started to relax, and that made the twist, when it happened, a great smack to the senses. I loved Sarah’s treatment of the Mc’s – mistakes were punished, there wasn’t character bias – it felt like the nasty stuff that happened did so irrespective of who it was happening to. And that made it believable.
So, I think I’ve been vague enough here. Let’s look at the plot.
The novel is set up in three parts, one of which we revisit twice. Events in the past, an event in the present, and a pivotal character’s perspective of that new event as it takes place are split into two parts. Sarah leaves a punch to the gut until the last line of the book, and the whole thing is wrapped up in bloody action.
Some of the things that made this work are the amount of internals we read from the various characters' POV’S. Almost no action is spared from analysis – conflicting thoughts and motives fight out on the page as we try to understand what is going on. Sarah bleeds the history of the characters out one fact at a time until we are left with a whole picture. The violence, when it happens, is swift, bloody, and well presented. The ferocity of the creature is well played, and the tension built comes mainly from the situation and the stakes and strains all of the characters are under. Couched in a documentary filmmaking setting, it’s a mix of The cabin in the woods and The Blair witch project (also referenced early on).
I loved it.
There are a lot of internals – there’s almost no nuance left unexplored - there are times when a single sentence is analyzed for possible meaning, layered meaning etc. The motives of the characters are integral to an understanding of why they react as they do to various situations, and also why they are willing to embrace specific lies or half-truths presented to them. It’s a lot – but it’s well done.
It’s only after finishing the book that you realize that 90% of the action of the book occurs in a single location and that we never actually get to other locations that feature heavily as goals to reach. It feels like they are false promises made to us, and I wondered if Sarah had deliberately set them up to parallel how the characters lie to one another, and how they willingly embrace a theory or a lie in order to be able to function. I wanted to get to a location. I wanted the girls to explore it.
It was never going to happen.
But that belief – I was sure we were going there. Likewise, the lies the girls follow, regardless of how improbable they are, are threads to hold onto. If that was deliberate, Sarah, it was a great effect.
I’m giving this a solid 4⭐’s, and I can’t wait for Sealed, The sound of silence, and Iron Maidens, all waiting patiently on my kindle. Certainly a voice to look out for.
You don't get away that easily, Sarah.

May 5, 2022This was a fun, entertaining read, reminiscent of the retro horror paperbacks of the 80s. In fact, the book starts in 1984, one of the hallmark years of horror fiction, horror movies, and pop culture. The author does a great job flipping chronologically between that era and the 2020s in a way that is not confusing and continues to advance the plot. The characters are strong and relatable. I thought I had a decent bearing on how the story would play out, but some of the plot revelations caught me off guard. The author tied all the loose ends together well, and I felt the “Story notes” section was particularly heartwarming. All-in-all, this was a fun and different cosmic horror that will entertain you as a summer read in the campground or cabin, or fireside during the cooler months. Five stars.

This was a great book of cosmic horror set in the woods. Recommend to horror fans.
February 21, 2022
This book has it all, people wanting revenge and just vile people willing to do anything to get what they want, a good forest location, a beast that is pure evil, and a plot that twists and turns. Good stuff.

I was lucky enough to be sent a proof copy of Sarah’s debut novel, Cabin Terror. I’d read her Paint It Black collection, and thought it was brilliant, so I was very excited to start on her first full-length story.
I was not disappointed.
Cabin Terror is a novel that needs to be on the shelves of all horror readers. Yep, it’s really bloody good, and really bloody.
Billed as a ‘Cosmic Slasher’, Cabin Terror is a joyous fusion of Lovecraftian horrors, dark rituals, urban legends, and found footage. Add to this some characters you’ll either love to bits or loathe with all your heart, and you’ve got one hell of a read.
Oh yes, don’t forget the scares, gore, and twists!
Excellent stuff!

Oh My! Wow, the writing alone in this novel is worth the read. The first chapter is a masterclass is anticipation and cosmic-otherness. I don't know how else to explain it. Huntington did a wonderful job of drawing out a mystery, and it's hard to not give away spoilers, but her character development was wonderful and made you feel for their plight, as well as their hatred. It was very easy to discern when she was writing from experience, the feelings! aiaiai!
October 27, 2021
Was as good as a bookshop book. Bit to much swearing though

Sarah Jane Huntington has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Loved this story: has supernatural elements, slighted women, and tons of gore!

Great horror with a surprisingly good twist
