Description

'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

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
