The Troop
Terror has never been so unrelenting in the classic debut by Nick Cutter, a bestseller and TikTok sensation.
'Scared the hell out of me' Stephen King
A normal camping trip: 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. The boys are all friends, and the weekend should go smoothly.
A horrifying visitor: 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 hungry. And whatever has made him sick... is contagious.
A struggle to the death: And so it begins. An agonising weekend in the wilderness. A harrowing struggle for survival. No possible escape from the elements, the infected... or one another.
The incredible novel of friendship, horror, wilderness and survival by a modern master.
