The Troop by Nick Cutter

So, the site where I order books from recommend this novel by Canadian writer Nick Cutter based on my purchases of books by Stephen King. I was almost sold and then, the quote from King himself, sealed it. I must say, it was a good recommendation as it was that good! A biological weapon set loose on an island full of scouts who are only 14 or 15 years old? LET THE HORROR BEGIN! Throw in a twisted and sick individual who you just hate as you read more and more about him and the horror is coming not from internally but externally as well. This novel also takes a page from Dracula as it fills the book with newspaper articles, interviews, court papers etc to give you a sense that this is fact or could easily happen. This book was really well written and hard to put down as the action can come from anywhere at anytime. This is for fans of horror! Hell! This would also make one awesome movie as there is so much happening that you don't know which angle the horror is coming from as these kids gotta learn quickly about what is happening around them. I need to check out more by this writer as I really enjoyed his book and style! If you are a fan of the genre, grab a copy asap! Enough said!
