A review of Matt Shaw’s The Island...
Both awesome AND gruesome, The Island is everything you might expect from uk horror author, Matt Shaw and then more so.
In what can only be described as a clever parody of the popular Bear Grylls show, The Island sees several ordinary people dropped onto a remote desert island to test their mettle and see just how long they can survive against all odds.
But what starts out as just another reality tv show soon takes a turn for the worse when one of their number is accidentally killed...
Seeking aid, as the contestants realise their only contact with the outside world appears to have been cut off, any former intention between the survivors to work together quickly begins to break down as the producers manipulate events from behind the scenes.
In this game, there can be only ONE winner and in this show, it’s every man (or woman) for themselves.
Once again, Shaw has excelled himself with yet another grisly tale.
The ending of this book teases his next offering and I for one simply cannot wait to see what this authors sick mind can come up with next.
A very confident and well deserved five stars out of five!
