Publisher Description

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.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....

"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 genius! I found myself so wrapped up in the characters in this book that I actually cried in a spot. I don't think I've ever been so emotionally attached to a character in a book before. Possibly it could be because I'm a psychology major and some of these characters hit home for me. ...or it could be simply because it was an extremely well written horror masterpiece that never let up. The only problem I had with the book was the baby that was brought on the camping trip. I don't know exactly why I hated this minor detail...I just did. Perhaps at times I felt that the main characters couldn't have done what they were doing with a baby strapped to them. I don't know...it was just a minor detail, so it was easy to overlook and by the end of the story I was ok with the baby being drug through a horror infested island. Whatever the case my be...I enjoyed reading this book. Of course I may never get the nerve to go camping again. But isn't that the job of a good horror book...to scare the BE-JEEZUS out of us :-)"

    " I am officially a fan of Jack Kilborn. This is not usually my style of book, yet I tend to read just about anything that captures my attention. My father gave my this one and since I was not reading anything at the time I downloaded to my iPad and started. Wow, what a book, at times I just had to put it down and pray for all the people involved. I know it is fiction, but when I read, I live it, I laugh, I cry, I pray!! It kept my interest from beginning to end. It was an emotional roller coaster, in other words, the kind of book I definitely LOVE reading. Be warned, the gore is a bit much and it stays with you for days after you finished reading, but well worth it. "

    " Worst piece of genre fiction I've read in a very long time. I would elaborate but I am afraid I might never stop. TSTL characters galore and choices that make no sense. "

    " This is probably the most disturbing book I have ever read and I am a fan of horror. This goes beyond that and I felt myself throwing up in my mouth every so often. I do like many other reviews on here have to point out the infant thing. No infant would go that long without screaming especially with all the running, screaming and jostling that was being done to him and around him. I probably would have just left the baby out of the story as it just didn't translate well but I also see the point in trying to make Sara appear more motherly perhaps. Still an excellent and psychotic journey I took. "

    " Jack Kilborn's "Afraid" is one of the scariest novels I've ever read. A solid 4/5 stars. This 'semi-sequel', "Trapped", very seriously PALES in comparison. It is insanely predictable, weakly-written, terribly-edited, and chock-full of cheap and pointless gore. Very hard to believe it's the same author. "

    " So far I have only read the revised edition. The uncut, unedited original version was also included, but I will go back to that another time. I loved "Afraid" and was ready for Kilborn's level of violence, but this one started off much slower. In fact, I got a little ways in and wasn't completely sure I would finish it, but now I'm glad I did. The action took off and the story went rolling like a run away freight train. "

    " Wish I could do half stars. Solid story, although not really "scary". More a gory little adventure piece with a bit of horror in that "it'd be scary if I was there but I don't really FEEL scared" variety. Really gory though, wouldn't read with a weak stomach. "

    " I found myself not scared, but bored when reading this one. The story of the kids on the island with their chaperones should have been interesting at the least, but it wasn't. After 30 pages I gave this one up, it just wasn't for me. "

    " When I read this was about a group of teenagers on a camp out on an island I thought "yeah well I've seen it and read it before". Jack Kilborn always seems to take it one step further. He pushes it to the next level. This book was very creative to say the least. They leave me wanting more. "
