Pig Island by Mo Hayder
3.0
3.5/5
Pig Island is a disturbing thriller with horror overtones. It's bleak but not as gory as one might expect/fear based on the description.
Joe Oakes, a skeptical journalist, arrives on the west coast of Scotland to investigate a reclusive cult on remote Pig Island. The rumor has it there's a half-animal, half-human creature there.
The story is narrated alternately by Oaksey and his wife Lexie. I enjoyed most of it, but I struggled with the pace in places, and I can't say I found the final shocking twist shocking.
All told, it's a solid thriller with genuinely terrifying moments.
