Nick Cutter, the pen name of Canadian writer Craig Davidson, has written some of the most unnerving horror novels of this century with The Troop and The Deep. The former, especially, is a punishing, gore-laden masterpiece, its story of a Boy Scout troop, a deserted island, and an otherworldly disease mining some serious pathos from a gut-churning premise. It’s overdue for a film adaptation, and now one is coming from Conjuring director James Wan’s Atomic Monster banner.
