I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was grotesque, disgusting, and awful! Everything I wanted from it. The horror skeeved me out severely. My biggest gripe with the book that kept it from being a 5 star read was the descriptions in the book that screamed it was written by a man. When a character would be scared their “testicles drew up into his abdomen,” and on the rare occasion we got the description of a woman the most important thing seemed to always be her boobs. Thank god all of the main characters are men because this book would have SUCKED if this guy had to write about a woman for longer than a few sentences.

I buddy read this with a friend and I'm very glad that I did because I needed to talk about it with someone as I read certain parts of this book. We follow a group of boys and their scout leader as they face the horrors of someone showing up at their camp with some strange illness. The things that happen in the cabin and then in the woods are brutal and really make the kids do things that no one should ever have to do. Some of the kids try their best to act rationally while others... well, they choose to do things differently. I will not say much because this book should be experienced without knowing too much about what's happening. 
Please check content warnings, do not eat while eating, and just read with care.
