The Troop by Nick Cutter

I've been trying to spend my breaks/lunch reading something other than textbooks, so with that in mind I polished off "The Troop" last night. It's a debut horror novel by Nick Cutter (although that's a polite fib - Cutter is a pseudonym for Canadian author Craig Davidson). A troop of boy scouts journey to an isolated, uninhabited island for a weekend camping trip, only to encounter a skeletal figure filled with a hunger that isn't . . . quite . . . natural. A good quick read, and I enjoyed it.
