Be advised, this novel contains body horror, violence towards and by children, and cruelty towards insects and animals.
The Troop by Nick Cutter is a good work of horror, and largely as a result of its visceral content it has become his most well known. The novel is weak on character development but has a decent and easy to follow plot.
The novel capitalizes on body horror, and David Chronenberg fans will be right at home with this one.
Nick Cutter has alot more for horror lovers if you 'dive' into his other offerings.
This reviewer deliberately chooses not to discuss plot.
