Quote: "Angus had jumped at the chance to join the army."
After a short period of service the young man returns home and finds a mysterious vial that seems to be saying "Drink me" in his pocket. If he drinks it, he's warned, he'll cease to be human. So he drinks it and turns into the type of goblin known as a Creep. In his fictional world goblins eat humans.
For me the gross-out factor is too high to qualify the story even as horror. Just yuck. If you want to prove your toughness by reading books that make other people say "Eww ick," Creep is for you.
