Publisher Description
WINNER OF THE JAMES HERBERT AWARD FOR HORROR WRITING
“The Troop scared the hell out of me, and I couldn’t put it down. This is old-school horror at its best.” —Stephen King
Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip—a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsite—shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry—Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. A horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected…or one another.
Part Lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Later—and all-consuming—this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanity…and terror hungers for more.
Customer Reviews
Fun
Not too bad. A somewhat cozy wilderness body horror involving teenagers and a dangerous invader. Some of the gross outs are earned and some can make you squint. The culprit behind the horror is an interesting specimen. Not as disgusting as some would lament.
Suspense to the stomach
Wowowowow. If you like creepy, suspense, thriller, intensity, and making your stomach turn; this is the book for you. There was never a dull moment in this story from start to finish. I couldn’t even put it down. There were a few times I needed to take a break from some of the details but still kept me coming back. One of the best reads I’ve had in a while.
