Ketchum was a man way ahead of his time. In 1989, he wrote The Girl Next Door. There was nothing on the shelves remotely like it by other authors. There was nothing as brutal, as gut-wrenching, or emotionally draining as The Girl Next Door. This kind of fiction wouldn't see the light of day for anot...

Jack Ketchum is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors...top three. I'm ashamed to admit that I've taken this long to start reading his work. Off Season an...
This book was one of the most disturbing and disgusting books I've read. I hated Ruth and I hated all the kids that were involved in torturing Meg. The contents of this book is just horrifying and hard to stomach, especially since it's based on real life events. I'm all for horror and gore, but my ...
