Now in mass-market paperback! ""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 Once a 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 horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected...or each other. Part "Lord of the Flies," part "28 Days Later"--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.

Seller's Description:
Good. Ex-Library copy with typical library marks and stamps. Shelf and handling wear to cover and binding, with general signs of previous use. Secure packaging for safe delivery.
100% solid perfection. Best creature/body horror I've read in months. A parasitic roundworm bioengineered and tested through some very unethical practices ends up running amok on Fallstaff island where a few teenage boys and their scoutmaster are on a weekend wilderness trip. I very much appreciated the writing style with PLENTY of character development, interviews with scientists/military, documents containing information about the worm, as well as video footage of some of the initial tests written out inbetween the events taking place on the island. All of it comes together in what I felt was a riveting horror novel overall. I will absolutely be reading more from Nick Cutter.
