The terrifying tale of six internet celebrities who accompany a superstar survivalist on a one-week trip deep into the remote Canadian wilderness... After their plane crashes, the influencers and their guide are stalked by a mountain man of local legend — Skinner. When the celebrities mount a desperate counterattack, they discover that there is much more to the skinner myth than any of them could have imagined. Will the celebrities survive, or be permanently canceled? Be honest, if you've ever wished (even privately) for a gruesome end to annoying Instagram influencers or those "reality TV survivalists" who really aren't in any danger whatsoever, then Skinner maybe a blood-soaked dream come true. The book blends elements of the "survival horror" genre popularized in video games like Resident Evil, with real life serials killers like Robert Hansen (a.k.a. "Butcher Baker" — who hunted his victims in the Alaskan wilderness), to the perils of internet influencers always looking for the next dangerous and shocking thing to put on their feeds.
