'THE TROOP scared the hell out of me, and I couldn't put it down. Not for the faint-hearted' STEPHEN KING

He felt something touch his hand. Which is when he looked down.

For

the scouts of Troop 52, three days of camping, hiking and survival

lessons on Falstaff Island is as close as they'll get to a proper

holiday.

Which was when he saw it.

But when

an emaciated figure stumbles into their camp asking for food, the trip

takes a horrifying turn. The man is not just hungry, he's sick. Sick in a

way they have never seen before.

Which was when he screamed.

Cut

off from the mainland, the troop face a terror far worse than anything

they could have made up around a campfire. To survive they will have to

fight their fears, the elements...and eventually each other.

Winner of the inaugural James Herbert Award, THE TROOP is a novel that will not fail to get under your skin...

Reviews for Troop

This is more than a stunning debut. It reminds me how vacuous, banal and insipid most highly-touted fiction is. [He] asks - and answers - some big, uncomfortable questions about the nature of our humanity Smudges the line between comedy and horror, cruelty and mercy. His remarkable stories are challenging and upsetting, but never boring Big, riveting stories about tough guys in trouble...the best I've read in a long time from a young writer He is a writer of immense power and surprising, accurate insights Lean and crisp... Disquieting, disturbing Disturbing, disgusting, and bone-chilling. I am delighted
