A wonderful book that pulled no punches. An easy 5*. Not an easy read but a vivid, real story. Looking forward to more from Ketchum

    I eat cannibal, It's incredible...
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2014*

Six adult friends go on holiday to a cabin out in the wilderness of Maine. Once there they sit about contemplating trivialities in their life that don't really matter ~ does my bum look big in this, I think I could be depressed, my career's not going to plan etc etc ~ but fortunately not for long, soon they will go through an evening of terrifying life or death survival situations.. Because outside lurk a cannibal tribe of inbred loonies, chomping at the bit, just dying to 'meat' them...I'd never read any Jack Ketchum before this, but I'd heard good things, and so, intrigued by 'The Sawney Bean Clan' style premise, and it's heavily censored publishing history, I thought I'd give this one a go first.Pretty good. I quite enjoyed it overall. The first 60 pages are duller than a train~spotters memoirs, but after that, once it kicked off, just under halfway into the book, the action was fairly relentless..Now don't get wrong, it's by no means the goriest/nastiest book I've ever read, and whether it deserved to be so heavily cut (or indeed it's reputation as being so gruesome) on it's release back in 1980, probably depends on how easily shocked you are, and your views around censorship in general, but overall you can kinda see why it might have upset a few mainstream readers at the time..Featuring as it does, some nice juicy chapters that include: dismemberment, brain eating, child decapitation, point blank lobotomies, castration, mutilation, stone age torture, organ removal, cannibal cooking tips and sexual assault, etc!Fear not though, because it's not so long before the civilised heroes begin to fight back and turn the tables (which was rather upsetting as I was growing quite fond of the cannibal family) and it eventually all comes to a head in a somewhat predictable (not that that spoils it) climactic bloodbath.So there we have it folks, 'Off Season' is a straight up, genuine, early 80s, backwoods inbred slasher~horror. That has a good old humourless (There is a lot of humour, but it's macabre humour as opposed to irritating fanboy stuff), bloodthirsty vibe. And is an enjoyable fast paced (once it gets going) read, which I sat down and finished in one sitting.Followed by Offspring and The Woman ~ which were both made into films. Which, if talking of films, if you like stuff like Wrong Turn or The Hills Have Eyes, this novel certainly comes recommended.The Leisure Books version is the uncut, cheap mass market version I read.4.25/5
