Jack Ketchum

[MadBoJangles]

Finished "The Woman" yesterday...
I did not expect the ending to be that -

Spoiler

...well...brutal to be honest.
The story just sort of plodded along, a bit unrealistic (imo) stretching the boundaries a little bit....some grounding aspects to it (the school stuff with the concerned teacher)....then BAM!! Full on train wreck violence at the end!

Can anyone recommend any of his other work?

Off Season, Off Spring and Red come to mind.

I've never read any of his books, but I saw the movie The Girl Next Door and think it should be banned, everyone involved in the making of it flogged, all copies of the film shredded, the pieces burned, ashes buried and anyone who saw it should receive free counseling.

I have not read any books or saw any of his movies, so I can't comment, other than to say he doesn't sound like my kind of writer!

Got to thinkin about it, and yeah, you cats are right about this Ketchum guy; so I tracked him down and give him a kick in the pants, broke his writing hands, and gave him some leaflets from Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show. That oughtta straighten his degenerate arse.

Goin after Edward Lee next--hoo, you guys think Jack is bad, get a load of THAT heathen. Might as well give Bret Easton Ellis a kick, too.
