I just cannot stop flicking over pages once I have started reading this book. I have been mesmerized into the scenario created by the author and left with goosebumps long after I finished it. In...
Jack Ketchum has built his reputation on writing books that take violence and horrors of human depravity to the extreme. "Off Season" is no exception. It was Mr. Ketchum's first novel and at the...
I was very excited to read "off season" due to all the hype I had read about it. To tell you the truth it was just OK~ It kinda dragged in places, especially when the local sheriff was involved....
I found it to be a continuation of Off Season; which was fine by me. I found it to be just as gory and nasty as Off Season and it held my attention to the end. However, I was disappointed in the...
I finished OffSeason and without hesitation, grabbed hold of OffSpring immediately. Well, one may come to expect sequels may kind of be repetitive but I expect at least some twists from the first...
One of the things I've noticed about Ketchum as I've started to read his work is how diverse it is - or, as Ketchum puts it in the introduction to Kingdom, "inconsistent." Although he tends to be...
This collection of short stories from Jack Ketchum didn't impress me that much. A few of the stories were excellent. Some were good. Several were just not worth reading at all. The good stories I...
I love Jack Ketchum's novels but never got around to reading this one. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of horror in this novel and the slow pace. Especially since the novel is basically a...
pretty crazy book. not very gory as led to believe. still, if you ever are curious to know what would happen if every woman in the world went pyscho, check this book out!!!!
Ladies' Night trades on a fundamental male fear: namely, what if the women in our lives suddenly turned on us? Ketchum answers that question in typically brutal fashion, positing a scenario...
This has to be one of the best books I've ever read! I've read many novels by Stephen King and Dean Koontz, but their subject matter is much more subtle than Mr. Ketchum's. I didn't quite know what...
As most Ketchum fans know, The publisher Ballantine originally ruined this book and may have ruined an otherwise very successful carreer. "Off Season", ketchum's first novel is truely horrific, but...
OFFSPRING takes place eleven years after OFF SEASON, and the books are very much connected. The Sheriff of Deep River, Maine--George Peters--is haunted by the events of 1981; he has retired, his...
I am a big horror fan, whether its monsters, zombies or aliens. I really enjoy the apocalyptic stories too. This book was wonderful. If you are fan of King and Laymon, then this book won't...
I finished OffSeason and without hesitation, grabbed hold of OffSpring immediately. Well, one may come to expect sequels may kind of be repetitive but I expect at least some twists from the first...
Did you know this was not only a book but a movie? Well it is, and the movie doesn't do the book justice. But isn't that always how it is? This is a twisted, morbid, tale...that I loved to hate....
It's important to realize that this book is only very loosely based on the true story of Sylvia Likens. To say it's "based" on the actual crime is true, but misleading. Only the premise is based...
What do you get when you put together two of the finest writers of hardcore horror working today? Well, you get something like the collaboration between Leopold and Loeb, but far more subversive...
Jack Ketchum turns to Greek mythology in this book involving tourists in Greece that meet up with a supernatural element. There's not much more to summarize that others haven't covered. I truly...
Jack Ketchum has written some very good horror books but they are not supernatural in nature. This one is and unfortunately it seems to miss the mark. The story concerns a group of characters,...
