The Troop by Nick Cutter

4.0

This book is BRUTAL. Gory, unnerving, nauseating, and genuinely scary, The Troop tells the story of a group of Boy Scouts on a camping trip to a nearby island where a grisly fate awaits them. The novel does not shy away from body horror, psychological thrills, and the gruesome deaths of children. As the tension on the island mounts, the book becomes a curious mashup of Lord of the Flies, The Thing, and Stand By Me (not that anyone will be left standing by the end).
