Oh, I so loved this novel. I enjoyed the bond of the scouts and their leader Tim as they ventured onto Falstaff Island. They’d been together for quite some time, Tim being their leader but also their friend and the boys, a diverse handful. Tim realized there probably wouldn’t be many more outing, th...

Alternative name for this review: Fifty Shades of Fuck That, pardon my french. This book is the definition of horrifying. It pushed on literally one of my worst fears. Despite all that, I devoured it and that's really ironic considering the subject matter. In The Troop, Scout Troop 52 is takin...

I read this book for Horror Aficionados August 2016 group read challenge. I have to say that I liked this book better than I thought I would.

A nasty little worm shows up and wreaks some major havoc during an annual camping trip for five boy scouts and their leader. F’n worms. A very well written and bloody, horror romp in the woods. I enjoyed everything about this one. The characters were interesting and well drawn, even though a wee cli...

The ‘Body Horror’ sub-genre seems to have fallen out of vogue in recent years, and I can’t really understand why - the stories in which bodily-invasions by diseases, fungi, parasites and aliens (or even weirder things) that cause us to lose control of the one thing that we’re utterly convinced we po...

"The Troop" is a very solidly written novel. The characters are well written. The storyline is engaging.
