My full The Troop audiobook review can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.

Right off the bat we are introduced to a creepy character who must keep eating to fill a hole or something. Doesn't even have to be food. From the thought provoking descriptions Cutter was able to capture my full attention with a death grip. I had to know what happened to this man, where he came from and most importantly what in the hell is going on.

Here we have a story that is about a simple unassuming boy scout camping trip to a remote island. Isolated from the outside world by the ocean. They think that they have everything they could need to make the trip a success, until the hungry man shows up. Then everything goes haywire. The troop leader and his son try to help the man, they realize that they must operate in order to save his life. This is where they are confronted with something so unimaginable and so terrifying that they do know what to do, other than to not get any on them. Well, they did and the story blows up from there.

My hat is off to Nick Cutter as I never had to stop listening to audiobook just because I was too creeped out to continue. The Troop is hands down the epitome of a horror story. It has everything a horror fan will want, monsters that are monsters and that are the people themselves. With suburb character development, to the point where you think you know them very well and then you don't.
