Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Off Season (1980), the tale of a cannibal holocaust in rural Maine, established Ketchum as a writer of hardcore horror and cultivated ground where Splatterpunk fiction eventually took root. This sequel, first published as a paperback original in 1991, reprises characters and themes from its predecessor and far too much of the grisly plot. Survivors of the feral flesh-eating clan, who were all but destroyed at the end of the first novel, are back and chowing their way through the locals again. Amy Halbard and Claire Carey strive to survive their abduction by the cannibals and save their children. A subplot involving Claire's despicable husband, Steven, gives Ketchum another opportunity to cleverly compare predatory civilized folk to the appetite-driven primitives. The story is suspenseful, fast-paced and intelligently written, but readers nurtured on horror fiction that has come up in the wake of this saga may wonder what the fuss is all about. Agent, Alice Martell. (Apr. 5) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars A copy of the first one,,,,,,,,, Feb 12 2004
By Ja'Maul Redmond (Charlotte, N.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a big Jack ketchum fan, after reading "The Girl Next Door", but the sequal to the cult novel Off Season was far from special. If you read Off Season , there's really no need to read Off Spring because it's basically the same story, without the creative suspense of the first. Both books have the same synopsis,,,, A few people go to this small rural town for a vacation only to find that they are being attacked by cave dwelling cannibals. I can't really tell too much of the story because i would give away the plot to BOTH books. Off Season is worth reading. Off Spring lacks the creative slow suspense and terror that Jack Ketchums creates by describing horrific incidents as other characters witnesses them.
In short Off Spring pales in comparison to Off season.
