About this listen
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 bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier. But for some reason, he can’t shake the feeling that something strange is in the air this year. Something waiting in the darkness. Something wicked . . .
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 - a man in unspeakable torment who exposes Tim and the boys to something far more frightening than any ghost story. Within his body is a bioengineered nightmare, a horror that spreads faster than fear. One by one, the boys will do things no person could ever imagine.
And so it begins. An agonizing weekend in the wilderness. A harrowing struggle for survival. No possible escape from the elements, the infected . . . or one another.

Classic horror story
This story had a great old school horror feel to it. Not for the squeamish! Loved the story, enjoyed the narration too.

Graphic horror if you like that kinda thing
The story was well paced throughout. Characters were well formed and all added value. The narrator however was so monotone - almost like a bad AI reading a script. I prefer voice actors to drab readers.
But, if you can get past that, the story is good, gruesome and graphic.

Utterly disgusting! I loved it!
Fantastic slice of body horror, part Stand By Me and part The Thing. Couldn’t stop listening and burned through the whole book in a day.
I’m just so very hungry... for more...

A body horror survival story
Best reader ever. Oh and the book was pretty good as well. If you like body horror, you are definitely going to like this book.

Woah
I decided to give this novel (which I'd never heard of) a try as master of horror, Stephen King, called it terrifying. Stephen King was right.

Great
Far more heart in this story than I expected. Not just shock and gory. Like Stand By Me but with more gore.

Squirm
Loved it. Endearing, heartbreaking, creepy, terrifying and melancholic.
Maybe avoid eating while you listen though.
