Books like The Woods Are Dark

This is the first book I've read by the author, and it was pretty good, if a little insane. Okay, more than a little insane. There are so many crazy people in this book - it was difficult to determine who was the craziest, though I think it was Lander Dills.A pair of back-packers; Neala and Sherri and a family of three: Lander, Ruth, Cordelia, and Cordelias boyfriend Ben - become fair game when they decide to make a stop in the small town of Barlow. Both groups get kidnapped by some of the locals, and are taken to an area in the forest; where there are six dead trees. Neala and Sherri are handcuffed to one of the trees and the other four to another. Their abductors soon haul ass - and quickly get out of there - though it's not long before one of them (Johnny Robbins) returns; as he has a bit of a fixation with Neala.Anyway, once both groups have been uncuffed - it's a fight for survival; as they are relentlessly pursued by the Krulls.The Krulls are bad enough, but Lander seems to have had a beast hiding inside of him - and due to his current situation - it's just itching to be set free.I read the restored and uncut version -and it was quite good. His daughter, Kelly Laymon restored the book to its original form - which she explains at the beginning of the book.
