But when they attend a ‘Full Moon Party’ on the beach, their night of fun takes a terrifying turn that leaves them and other party-goers stranded on a desert island infested with humanoid creatures seeking human sacrifices for their god…This is my second book by Sodergren and although “Satan’s Burnouts Must Die!” Is still my favorite, this one did not disappoint. It kinda reads like a b-horror in novel form with creature feature mayhem to over-the-top gore and the obligatory sex-crazed douchebags. The larger than average spiders were well developed with slow revelations of terror that ultimately took a turn from creepy and unsettling to downright terrifying with a lovecraftian twist that really added a new depth to the story. This was my favorite part as it was epic non-stop action with lots of heart-pounding moments of horror and suspense.The only reason for not giving it a full five star rating is all the mention of sex. Sure horror and sex go hand in hand but it got a little annoying for me and then there was a really gross death scene that felt too unnecessarily descriptive 🤢But other than that, I really enjoyed this book. Sodergren is a talented writer who creates strong female leads that I come to love. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author, I have a feeling he’s slowly becoming a new favorite of mine.If you’re in the mood for a vacation cosmic horror, this book is a good choice! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ modern horror for the vintage fan! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2018* This debut horror novel has it all: beaches, booze, boats, spiders, sex, despicable people whose death you root for, visceral body horror, and even a pug.It’s obvious that Sodergren has spent a long time steeped in the horror tradition, and as a longtime follower of his Instagram, @paperbacksandpugs, I can say that this is—without a doubt—definitely the case. He knows it all, from the most obscure reference to the pop culture stalwarts. His personal love of the horror genre comes across in the style and substance of this novel, and while it feels like it could be a vintage horror paperback from the 80s paying homage to the video nasties, it is a wholly original tale.Here’s the setup: two sisters, one boyfriend, and a new guy they just met on holiday in Thailand. They party wildly all night and wind up on a boat headed for an island that seems deserted—but as any good horror hound knows, “seems” is just another way to say that this is where things are about to get crazy.And crazy is only the start of it.This is a story I found myself really lost in, the type of book that as you’re reading it, the background falls away and you don’t notice time passing or people trying to talk to you, or even if your house might be burning down.I appreciated getting to see from the perspectives of a variety of the characters. They were an interesting (and sometimes nasty—in all senses of the word!) bunch and getting into their heads gave each one room to become a more rounded and believable character. It also made me unsure of who was going to make it to the end of the book and who was toast. The characters filled horror tropes without becoming total clichés—not the easiest thing to do.Ana, the main character, is quite brilliant. I loved how she was an average girl, not super good-looking or skinny, definitely has some bad moments in her past, tends to be insecure, and uses sarcasm to keep people away. Watching her transformation throughout the book is quite great. It’s not like she turns into Lara Croft or anything, but I felt she realistically took on the horrific events around her, adapted how she could, and badassed her way through it. I’d like to think I’d do the same, given the chance.And the monsters—I think you’re going to like them. The opening scene alone is nightmare-inducing, but what’s worse: not knowing what’s down the dark, black hole or having to confront it face to face and try to stay alive? You’ll have to read on to find out! I definitely recommend this horror novel to fans looking for something a little different and unique and a lot of blood-spattering, gore-infested (but still character-driven) madness—especially if they have a fondness for vintage horror films and books. There is a lot to love here, and I know this isn’t the last we’ll see from Sodergren (or his pug). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovecraft like horror *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2021* The Forgotten Island was a fun, little horror story with a lot of bite. Unfortunately, it also had quite a bit of cheese. Possibly intentional, as a kick back to 80s horror. The writing and dialogue was really good, but most of the characters were two dimensional. Sex was mentioned way to much, to the point of it being eye-roll inducing. The group are stranded in their underwear, one couple is constantly groping at each other, and one guy actually tries to rape a girl while monsters are around. And not one, but two guys are misogynistic creeps.Except for the two main characters, Ana and her sister, most of the other characters are so awful that you can’t wait for them to die. Not necessarily a bad thing in a horror, as the deaths of some of these people were very satisfying.All that being said, the horror in this was great. The last 100 pages were filled with grossness, gore, and cosmic horror. I enjoyed every bit of it. One death scene was one of the best I have read in quite a while. Not completely unpredictable overall, especially the very end, but still very enjoyable. I can’t wait to try some of his other work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/99735641-the-forgotten-island-a-horror-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/99735641-the-forgotten-island-a-horror-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
