From the first time I read OFF SEASON as a teenager, I knew that here was a writer I could totally hero-worship. So if you’re reading this expecting a negative review, then keep on going, bub. I loves me some Jack Ketchum. [...] [...] I will admit to a definite bias when it comes to Ketchum’s novels.
