There is something about that setting that instantly adds tension and stress to a book. I love claustrophobic horror where characters are trapped in different situations with limited means of escape. Finally my coworker gave me just the nudge I needed to pick up my first Cutter book and I was definitely not disappointed. He’s been on my TBR for several years now. Nick Cutter is one of those horror authors you hear a lot about in the bookstagram community. What’s waiting for them is nothing anyone would have guessed. When the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. A universal healer known as “ambrosia” has been discovered. There is no known cure, but far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean there may be a ray of hope. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive. Part Lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Later-and all-consuming-this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanity…and terror hungers for more.A strange plague called the ‘Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected…or one another. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsite-shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry-Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. 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. This “grim microcosm of terror and desperation haunting” (Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author) follows a scout troop on a terrifying fight for survival when they come across a mysterious-and deadly-stranger in the Canadian wilderness. This is old-school horror at its best.” -Stephen King

“ The Troop scared the hell out of me, and I couldn’t put it down.
