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...

TRAPPED by Jack Kilborn
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...

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!!!

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.

Serious Hardcore Gore Fest. Really, Really Wet.

What was supposed to be terrifying was mostly laughable. Aside from the narrator's fun commitment to character voices, this story was as boring as taco bell mild sauce.

Not worth it.

Well, I can't say I wasn't warned by the other reviewers! This book has it all: people stranded on a scary island, sociopaths, sadists, a mad scientist, and a bunch of lobotomized cannibals. The first half of the book is effectively spooky; the second half is just gross, with vivid descriptions of people being roasted, eaten, tortured, degraded, mutilated, and so on. But I'm not complaining. Most of the story is entertaining, and the narration is solid.

There is one thing that's bothering me about the story and prevents me from giving it a higher rating. A big revelation in the second half changed the complexion of the whole novel. It made me go back to listen to key passages again to see if it was possible to predict it. Were there signs buried in the story? Was the author cleverly leading us in one direction only to shock us with the truth? Or were we outright tricked? Like a lot of readers/listeners, I don't like to be fooled by cheap tricks. And this one felt pretty cheap.

Still, I liked the book overall, and I recommend it to horror and gore fans.

Gore-fest!

I have never laughed so hard! The author tries for the bloody gross out, goes over the top and it ends up being corny and silly. Not to use too many spoilers but the crazy cannibal with the salt shaker, and the kids who says in tears, "I ate my friend and he tasted like chiken!" I almost wet myself !

Ha Ha Ha......

Killers, cannibals, and a remote island what more could you ask for! A group home for troubled teens opened by 2 psychologists Sara and Martin is getting ready to be shut down. Sara and Martin are married and wanted to take the kids for one last trip before they had to all go separate ways. Deciding to go on a camping trip on an island in Lake Huron was a huge mistake, or was it? Expecting to have a fun trip together and maybe salvage their marriage, nobody expected the horrors to come in the days that follow. Martin's campfire spooky story is enough to get them on edge especially when Martin comes up missing. Now the horrors begin, will anyone make it out alive? Be prepared for a major shock to your senses with Trapped! J.A. Konrath is absolutely spot on in his writing and I can't wait to read (listen to) more books by him. Narrator Phil Gigante did perfectly for getting your emotions on track. Are you afraid? You should be! Happy reading 💞

Creepy and brilliant!!
