“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

Lord of the Flies meets 28 Days Later in this “grim microcosm of terror and desperation haunting” (Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author) following a scout troop on a terrifying fight for survival when they come across a mysterious—and deadly—stranger in the Canadian wilderness.

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 horrifying contagion that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected…or one another.

Part parasitic horror, part survival thriller—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.

Not for the faint of heart or weak stomached, but absolutely visceral! If I had 5 thumbs, they'd all be up. The story was page-turning, and you find yourself struggling not to skip ahead, or read it all in one sitting.

Ignore the haters. They're either turned off by the gore (of which there is plenty) or they are contrarian. If you enjoy Stephen King, Clive Barker, Joe Hill, Dean Koontz, etc.. then you'll be happy with this one. A solid story, compelling characters, and a lot of tension. I'd never read anything by the author, under any name, but I'll definitely be checking out more of his work.

Very happy with this purchase.

This is a Good One!

This was a great book. If you cant handle animals getting hurt or bugs it may not be for you.
I didn't find it scary in a typical "horror" way but it is one of the most horrific books i've read.
Love the Canadiana it seems more real when places ive seen in real life are involved. I think may be a book I pick up for my physical library but thats just my humble opinion.

Ahhh

Very creepy and not for the squeamish. Well narrated, enjoyable to listen to, and the fact that it takes place in Canada just makes it that much cooler. Happy I stumbled across this one.

I couldn’t stop listening. This was well narrated and the story was very captivating. However, it is not for everyone. The story has some gruesome parts that were a hard listen.

Gripping!
