I've been thinking about what book I can read for PEI in the Cross Canada Challenge and I stumbled across The Troop by Nick Cutter (aka Craig Davidson) He's not from PEI but the book is set there so I'm assuming we can use it for this category? I'm not usually much of a horror fan but I'm thinking about giving this one a go. Has anyone else read it?
@Louise- I read The Troop several years ago and it creeped me out memorably...I enjoy his books but they shouldn't be read on a weak stomach!

@Louise, I recall the book having various methods for sharing the story including news articles etc. The audio book may not capture this as well. I felt it added to my reading enjoyment but I also like that style of "changing it up a bit". Keeps me interested.

Craig's writing accesses all of the senses, and his horror most definitely so. So be prepared to be a bit squeamish at times! I always have to remind myself after reading his Cutter novels that Craig is a lovely and well adjusted fella because he definitely pushes the boundaries. Enjoy!!

Here's a short story collection called Riptides: New Island Fiction by Richard Lemm, all the stories are connected to PEI in some way either by the story or the author.
