Books like Don't Feed the Campers and The Troop?
I’ve been on a major kick lately with survival horror stories involving teens stuck in remote locations. I grew up obsessed with Survivor and Total Drama Island, and recently I’ve been devouring books that scratch that specific itch.
I loved The Troop by Nick Cutter, the body horror was visceral and the "trapped on an island" vibe was perfect. I just finished a new book I picked up on KU, Don’t Feed the Campers, and honestly, it was exactly what I was looking for: that trashy reality TV survival trope blended with absolute, depraved horror. Does anyone have recommendations for books where teenagers are stranded (island, forest, boat, whatever) and things go horribly, violently wrong? I’m looking for high stakes, isolation, and preferably some gnarly gore.
