WARNING! This video contains spoilers for The Troop, a 2014 novel by author Nick Cutter (Pen Name). This video is intended for those that have read the novel and are looking for a refresher, or haven't read it, but don't mind it being spoiled. You've been warned.
The Troop follows a small troop of Canadian boy scouts who are on a remote island off the coast, called Falstaff. They plan to step away from technology and participate in outdoor activities as part of the scout program, led by Tim, their scoutmaster. While the troop is settling in on the island, a mysterious stranger arrives ashore. The stranger is sick, with what, Tim doesn't know, but he is a doctor and feels obligated to help. That effort to assist the man quickly spins out of control, resulting in one horrifying tale that really gets under your skin. The Troop was far more unsettling than I initially expected, but worth the read. Additional warning though, there is some animal brutality in this story, so if tread lightly. I didn't like those sections, but maybe that is the point.
