“Who’s the scariest guy in America? Probably Jack Ketchum.”—Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly
“Ketchum has become a kind of hero to those of us who write tales of horror and suspense. He is, quite simply, one of the best in the business.” —Stephen King
“You never know what you'll get when you pick up a Ketchum story … but you can be sure you'll always be surprised – and scared." – Publishers Weekly
“[_The Girl Next Door is_] one of the most disturbing reads in the history of horror literature.” –_Rue Morgue_
“Jack Ketchum is one of America’s best and most consistent writers of contemporary horror fiction.”—Bentley Little
Product Description
The Woman is the last of her kind, the lone survivor of a tribe of feral cannibals who have terrorized the Maine coast for years. She is wounded and weak, but she's found refuge in a cave overlooking the sea. Christopher Cleek is an amoral—and unstable—lawyer who sees her bathing in a stream one day while he's out hunting. Cleek has dark, cruel secrets and he will now add one more. He will capture the Woman, lock her in his cellar, and attempt to tame her, with the help of his wife and children. But very soon the question will become: Who is more savage, the hunter or the prey?
