From Little Stack
Every parent’s worst nightmare is their child falling prey to a bad influence. Because if boys will be boys under the best of circumstances, what might they be capable under the worst? That’s why Scoutmaster Tim Riggs takes his troop on an annual camping trip. It helps the boys bond. Teaches them how to overcome difficult tasks. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles into their camp, he infects the boys with something worse than fear. Soon, they boys are goading each other on, pushing each other to commit acts no person should ever commit against someone else. Their easy camping trip soon morphs into a desperate attempt to escape. But they can’t run. They can’t hide. Because they are the monsters.
WINNER OF THE JAMES HERBERT AWARD FOR HORROR WRITING
Once every 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 one another.
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.
