Summary:
"Welcome to Monster camp, a world where ordinary people transform into monsters and heroes to escape their daily lives. Best described as a real-life version of 'World of Warcraft', 'Dungeons and Dragons', or 'Lord of the Rings'; these enthusiasts have developed a complicated world to bring fantasy to life. This phenomenon is known as live-action-role-playing (or larping). Monster camp intimately delves into the lives of a small group of these larpers, both surprising and delighting with every turn"--Container.
