About Jack Ketchum
Jack Ketchum is the pseudonym for a former actor, teacher, literary agent, lumber salesman, and soda jerk. He is also a former flower child and baby boomer who figures that in 1956 Elvis, dinosaurs and horror probably saved his life. His first novel, OFF SEASON, an updating of the Sawney Beane story, prompted the Village Voice to publicly scold its publisher in print for publishing violent pornography. He has always wondered what they would think of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. His short story THE BOX won a 1994 Bram Stoker Award from HWA.

Jack Ketchum recommends
 Fever 42 (2002) Christopher Fahy "Chris Fahy has done some extraordinary things here...a ride that fundamentally makes you worry for your own strange trajectory.." |  Dismember (2010) Daniel Pyle "A fast-paced grindhouse-movie of a book. The late Richard Laymon would have been grinning ear to ear." |
