by

The Girl Next Door

(1989)
A novel by

Jack Ketchum

"THE GIRL NEXT DOOR is alive...it does not just promise terror but actually delivers it.. it's a page-turner..."
Stephen King


"This is the real stuff, horror embedded in genuine literature, an uncomfortable dip into the pitch blackness in the underside of the American literary tradition."
Edward Bryant


 

SOMEBODY'S KNOCKIN'...Suburbia in the 1950s. A nice quiet simpler time to grow up-unless you count the McCarthy trials and red-scares and the shadow of the Bomb and the Cold War, unless you could see the dark side emerging. And on a quiet tree-lined dead-end street, in the dark damp basement of the Chandler house, it's emerging big-time for teenage Meg and her crippled sister Susan-whose parents are dead now, who are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant Aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons-and finally an entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruet, tortuous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make. Between love and compassion, and lust and evil.
