De la solapa interior

Jack Ketchum s original novel of cannibalism in Maine, Off Season, was first met with a lot of controversy when it was originally released in 1980. However sales of over 250,000 mass market editions made this first time novelist a major force in the horror and suspense genres. Now Offspring, the sequel to Off Season, is being released in a signed limited hardcover edition. Just when you thought the horror of Off Season was vanquished in that first novel, The Family, lives on.. years later continuing terrorizing the coast of Maine. And their zest for life, and yours, continues on the family tradition.
