STAGS

Description

Nine students. Three bloodsports. One deadly weekend.
A twisting thriller for fans of Looking for Alaska and the Hunger Games
It is the autumn term and Greer MacDonald is struggling to settle into the sixth form
at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils
as S.T.A.G.S. Just when she despairs of making friends Greer receives a mysterious
invitation with three words embossed upon on it: huntin’ shooting’ fishing’. When
Greer learns that the invitation is to spend the half term weekend at the country
manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at S.T.A.G.S.,
she is as surprised as she is flattered.
But when Greer joins the other chosen few at the ancient and sprawling Longcross
Hall, she realises that Henry’s parents are not at home; the only adults present are
a cohort of eerily compliant servants. The students are at the mercy of their
capricious host, and, over the next three days, as the three bloodsports – hunting,
shooting and fishing – become increasingly dark and twisted, Greer comes to the
horrifying realisation that those being hunted are not wild game, but the very
misfits Henry has brought with him from school..
