Off Season

By Jack Ketchum

September. A beautiful New York editor retreats to a lonely cabin on a hill in the quiet Maine beach town of Dead River--off season--awaiting her sister and friends. Nearby, a savage human family with a taste for flesh lurks in the darkening woods, watching, waiting for the moon to rise and night to fall....

And before too many hours pass, five civilized, sophisticated people and one tired old country sheriff will learn just how primitive we all are beneath the surface...and that there are no limits at all to the will to survive.

Phenomenal writing, perhaps too phenomenal; for now, I want steak.

one of the first splatterounk books i read and wasn't disappointed. the first 3rd of the book is a bit rough to read, but once u get to the actions it's like u cant stop. this book is v e r y discriptive and not for the weak of heart, i swear it's like i could smell the scenarios at some point. definitely thinking about reading the sequel to this.

I kinda dived headfirst into the horror genre after reading mostly fantasy and fiction, but I really liked this book! I loved the snippets of backstory in it. The gore was good.
