Trapped

By: Jack Kilborn, J. A. Konrath

Narrated by: Phil Gigante

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...

It starts where other horror ends

A Word of Warning

This 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. The author made extensive changes, rewriting much of the story. The publisher still refused.

This is a disturbing, terrifying book. You may think you're brave enough to handle it. But you're probably not...

Terrorfying

One of my favorite Kilborn books. One of the other reviewers used the word "twisted". This describes the story, characters, and Kilborn. Loved it!!! Thanks Jack!!!

Serious Hardcore Gore Fest. Really, Really Wet.

Where does Trapped rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The thing about this book is that there is a pretty good story in there. Not a great mystery but plenty of action and suspense. The problem is it is mixed in with so much blood, gore, torture and just plain nastiness you really want to just look away. I was warned by other reviewers (thank you) so I knew it was going to be bad going in. And it was but I don't regret the listen. It was a good story. But seriously folks, if you are at all squeamish this is not for you.

Now I know precisely what the reviewer who said they were embarrassed about how much they liked this story meant!

Would you be willing to try another book from Jack Kilborn and J. A. Konrath ? Why or why not?

Yes I have/will. But I would hope they would rely more on their writing/plotting skills because they can tell a good story. And when it comes to blood and guts I think less can be more. That's why only three stars for the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were many scenes where I was actually calling the characters bad names because of the bad choices they were making. Fortunately, I was cleaning the house instead of sitting on the train!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. One needs a bit of a breather from all of the carnage. But I did want to finish it.

One of the best horror novels ever
