Synopsis

TERRIFIED...It was supposed to be a harmless camping trip. Six wayward teenagers who'd run into trouble with the law, and their court-appointed guardians, Sara and Martin Randhurst. Three nights on a small, deserted island off of Michigan's upper peninsula. A time to bond, to learn, to heal.Then Martin told a campfire story about the island's history. Of the old civil war prison hidden in there, and the starving confederate soldiers who resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. Everyone thought it was funny. They even laughed when Martin pretended to be dragged off into the woods.But Martin didn't come back. And neither did Sara when she went in search of him.Then the laughter stopped....TO DEATHThe group soon began to realize that this deserted island wasn't so deserted after all. And perhaps Martin's ridiculous story had more truth to it than anyone thought.What's the most horrifying thing you can imagine?This is a hundred times worse...TRAPPED by Jack Kilborn
It starts where other horror ends A Word of WarningThis is the long-awaited follow-up to AFRAID, one of the most horrifying books ever written.Originally scheduled to be released in paperback in 2010, the publisher read the first version of the manuscript and refused to release it.

But you're probably not...

Goodreads review by Marvin on July 23, 2012

Far be it for me to tell an author what to write but I feel an obligation to point out three facts of nature... 1) When confronted with attacking cannibals and screaming people, babies tend to cry not sleep or "gurgle happily". 2) No matter how stupid he is, a social worker would never take a gun on a......more

Goodreads review by Freda on January 05, 2020

It pulled me in right from the first word. It was everything I had hoped for and more. It had me thinking of Lord of the Flies, but adults... mixed with a little Texas Chainsaw massacre minus the chainsaw. It was scary. It was graphic and it was cool! I have not read anything like it, and doubt I will......more
