Why read it?
1 author picked Off Season as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ketchum’s classic survival horror novel about cannibals attacking a cabin of vacationers is pure 80s slasher goodness. It was perhaps the darkest book of its kind for a long time and pulls no punches with the intensity of its chase scenes. Ketchum’s economical writing style makes it a very easy read, one where you will root for the good guys, and be left emotionally drained by the end.
From Ryan's list on testing the endurance of the dark and disturbed.
