Summary: Simply THE most brutally horrifying book I have ever read!
Comment: This book is a testament that you haven't "read it all" in horror fiction. If you think nothing will scare you anymore, give THIS one a shot! The tone of this entrancing novel changes so abruptly at one point that I felt physically revolted at the ruthlessness of the author, for suddenly thrusting his well-honed charecters into such a cold, relentless nightmare! But there was no way I'd stop reading it until the last page! I've never been so obsessed with finishing a book in my life! You are a MEAN one, Mr. Ketchum.

Summary: Superb, horrifying, unforgettable
Comment: Jack Ketcham's "Off Season" is simply the best horror story I've ever read. You get involved quickly in the lives and desires of the characters who begin the book -- a group of 20somethings who are real, believeable and interesting. Then something unexpected and horrible begins to grow and take shape and suddenly you're involved with a whole new set of ... well, not people exactly. The book is worth reading for "the Cow" alone. But you won't be able to put it down, and you won't forget it. Ever. There are things out there in the night...

Summary: When the line between human and animal is severed
Comment: Carla has been given a cherry editing assignment, one month to finish editing a book on fifties rock 'n' roll, which she knew she could easily finish in one week. She rents a cabin outside the tiny town of Dead River up the Maine coastline. Carla invited company up for the first week of her stay; her younger sister Marjie and her boyfriend Dan, Carla's own current boyfriend Jim, and her ex-boyfriend Nick who brings along his current girl Laura. All five ride up to meet Carla together.
Marjie loves reading the scandalous Evening Post, and eagerly reads the book on Dead River that Carla sent her, eating up the tales of Catbird island and the mysterious deaths and disappearances that surrounded the lighthouse and island there.
What none of the six vacationers know about is the family of wild people who live in the caves along the rocky shores. They are not zombies, they are real; but they are not civilized. As dead in the brain as a zombie would be, this hellish clan lives off the land and survives on whatever food happens their way. And their favorite food is people.
This wild clan of human monsters will discover the vacationers, and a fight for their lives ensues. Who will be the next target? Will the local sheriffs catch on in time?
Off Season is a gore streaked feast for those inclined to gruesome horror. Practically banned back in 1981 for its disgusting content and mainly for its use of children as villains instead of victims. A not to be missed early piece by the master, Jack Ketchum, pick up a copy of this if you can find it. Enjoy!
