He felt something touch his hand. Which is when he looked down.
For the scouts of Troop 52, three days of camping, hiking and survival lessons on Falstaff Island is as close as they'll get to a proper holiday.
Which was when he saw it.
But when an emaciated figure stumbles into their camp asking for food, the trip takes a horrifying turn. The man is not just hungry, he's sick. Sick in a way they have never seen before.
Which was when he screamed.

Press Reviews
Irvine Welsh
This is more than a stunning debut. It reminds me how vacuous, banal and insipid most highly-touted fiction is. [He] asks - and answers - some big, uncomfortable questions about the nature of our humanity
Chuck Palahniuk
Smudges the line between comedy and horror, cruelty and mercy. His remarkable stories are challenging and upsetting, but never boring
Bret Easton Ellis
Big, riveting stories about tough guys in trouble...the best I've read in a long time from a young writer
Peter Straub
He is a writer of immense power and surprising, accurate insights
Scott Smith, author of <i>The Ruins</i> and <i>A Simple Plan<i>
Lean and crisp... Disquieting, disturbing
Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author
Disturbing, disgusting, and bone-chilling. I am delighted
