Book Synopsis

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.

    Bit of a slow burn at first but truly got better every single chapter. Lots of great nods to It, Lord of the Flies, and other classics. Solid 4.5 stars! My only qualm is it really just take about 100-120 pages to pick up the pace. But the book does pick up speed. Great read!
  • True Horror! Love it!

    Good page-turner with likeable main protagonists. Could do without the profanity though. Too much and unnecessary.
  • Animal torture

    Be ready for it. Why do all of his books have this theme? Disgusting and totally unnecessary.
  • Terrifying

    This is such a good book. Such a sad and terrifying but really good book. I’m new to Nick Cutter, but I am going to look for a second book to follow this up with.

    The troop does an excellent job of creating a suspenseful atmosphere! The book felt less of a thrilling novel and more of a dreadful tragedy. Surgically descriptive in illustrating the horrific setting, I’m sure to be looking forward to reading future books from Nick Cutter!
