About this listen

 “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.

I wish when I had purchased this book that there was reviews for it but there was not so I took chance, In a way I am glad I did because this was a horrific story just some innocent boy scouts going on a camping trip that turns into a total nightmare.The island they camp on is highly infected and they all have to fight for survival, the down side is the graphic detail of animal cruelty is more disturbing than anything if like myself you are a animal lover think twice about this book!
Putting that aside though its a fantastic story.

Got onto this after my brother recommended it. Have to say that the more grisly aspects are quite horrific but that the book is very well written with flashbacks that explain and foreshadow later moments.

Ifs a very good idea to put 14 year olds at the centre of this story as their pain and terror is somehow more tragic. There are some quite upsetting scenes so be forewarned but I did enjoy the book and if you are into horror lit, this has to be on your to read list.

Effective toe curling horror.

Gripping story but you need a strong stomach to handle the body horror, and as someone already said there are instances of animal cruelty

Disturbing

Really enjoy the story. Graphic and interesting and more that it has the potential to be real. The narration was rather flat and emotionless.

Good story

this is a harsh book and not for the faint hearted, its a fantastic listern and some of the best body horror ive heard, but if like myself you find crulty hard to listern to then be warned because this book has some pretty nasty chapters, i had to take a few brakes.

This book will get under your skin
