**CONTENT WARNING:**
Nick Cutter's _The Troop_ is a successful work of horror, and largely as a result of its visceral content, it has become his most well-known work. The novel is weak in character development but has a decent and easy-to-follow plot.
The novel capitalizes on body horror, and David Cronenberg fans will feel right at home with this one.
Nick Cutter has a lot more for horror lovers if you "dive" into his other offerings.
This reviewer deliberately chooses not to discuss the plot.
