Schweitzer Klassifikation
Jack Ketchum's debut novel, Off Season (1981)-an updating of the Sawney Beane story-prompted The Village Voice to publicly scold its publisher for publishing violent pornography. Since then, he has published twelve additional novels and several short story collections. He has won numerous Bram Stoker Awards, including Best Collection 2003 (Peaceable Kingdom), Best Long Fiction 2003 (Closing Time), Best Short Fiction 2000 (Gone), and Best Short Fiction 1994 (The Box). Four of his books were recently filmed as movies: The Lost (2001), The Girl Next Door (2005), Red (2008) and Offspring (2009). Ketchum is one of the most exciting and well-respected horror authors on the market today.
