Chronicle In Favor Of Books Trapped (Konrath/Kilborn Collective #4)
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 DEATH
The 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...

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 camping trip, especially when his teenage wards include one ADHD kid, a sociopath and two rival gang members.3) People taste like pork, not chicken.That last bit of info is not personal experience.
There's no doubt about it...I LOVE this author! The ebook that I have actually has the uncut version at the end of the book. I had every intention of reading the final draft and then diving right into the first draft....however, by the end of the book I was so in awe that I decided to just be content with the version that I had just read. I want to fully digest this story and give it the credit deserved before reading a different version. ...now, on to the good stuff....this man is an absolute
Yep, a horror story. Quite disturbing, but not really terrifying. Apparently I got a strong stomach. Maybe its because Im the generation that grew up with sex, drugs and violence on television, while nowadays you have to show parental consent to even see a chaste kiss on tv or in the movie theatre. There is something like overreaction. Last week I even heard that squeaky toys are apparently harmful to a toddlers hearing. While some years later they will probably fuck it up themselves using head
I don't know what to say everyone. Almost a 4.0 on Goodreads? In all honesty, I find this completely unbelievable. Trapped is terrible. The more pages I turned, the more I chuckled to myself. It's got every horror film cliche there is, and it's apparent that I don't dig Kilborn's writing style at all. I guess this book is for you if you want to know what happens when a group of folks go camping on an island with some history.
3 - 3 1/2 starsI have been a huge fan of both Killborn/Konrath's work for several years, and a dedicated fan of horror since childhood (yes, I was a twisted little kid). It truly takes a lot for me to say a story goes a little too far in the gross-out/gory department. But...there were times when this book definitely did.The story is gripping and I was hooked from the first scene. However, there were several times where I had to put the book down because it was all just...too much. I blame
I'm insane. Honestly. This is the second book I've read by the author (consecutively) - and it was just as good as the first book (Afraid #1), but it loses a star, due to the typos and the way it was formatted. There were times, when one characters' narrative, ended, and then it switched to another, without starting a new paragraph, at the very least - so that was a little annoying. I liked the back-story to each of the characters, though. That was intriguing. Six troubled teenagers: Meadowlark
