The Troop

The Troop

WINNER OF THE JAMES HERBERT AWARD FOR HORROR WRITING
â‚¬Å“The Troop scared the hell out of me, and I couldnâ‚¬t put it down. This is old-school horror at its best.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Stephen King

Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping tripâ‚¬"a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. The boys are a tight-knit crew. Thereâ‚¬s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well liked and easygoing; then thereâ‚¬s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be thereâ‚¬"which makes Scoutmaster Timâ‚¬s job a little easier. But for some reason, he canâ‚¬t shake the feeling that something strange is in the air this year. Something waiting in the darkness. Something wickedâ‚¬Â¦

It comes to them in the night. An unexpected intruder, stumbling upon their campsite like a wild animal. He is shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungryâ‚¬"a man in unspeakable torment who exposes Tim and the boys to something far more frightening than any ghost story. Within his body is a bioengineered nightmare, a horror that spreads faster than fear. One by one, the boys will do things no person could ever imagine.

And so it begins. An agonizing weekend in the wilderness. A harrowing struggle for survival. No possible escape from the elements, the infectedâ‚¬Â¦or one another.

Part Lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Laterâ‚¬"and all-consumingâ‚¬"this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanityâ‚¬Â¦and terror hungers for more.
