About this audiobook

The acclaimed national bestseller that is ā€œold-school horror at its bestā€ (Stephen King) follows a scout troop as it is unexpectedly caught up in an isolating and utterly terrifying fight for their lives.

Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping tripā€”a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsiteā€”shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungryā€”Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. A horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infectedā€¦or one another.

Great book, I liked the small twist regarding one of the scouts. There were two parts that were hard for me to get though but that's what makes this good horror.
