Red
Jack Ketchum's previous novel, The Lost, caught readers' attention like a well-timed gunshot. Fans and critics alike hailed it for its power, its thrills, and its gripping style, and recognized Ketchum as a master of suspense. Now, Jack Ketchum is back to frighten us again with...Red!
It all started with a simple act of brutality. Three boys shot and killed an old man's dog. No reason, just plain meanness. But the dog was the best thing in the old man's world, and he wasn't about to let it pass. He wanted justice, and he'd make sure the kids paid for what they did, even if it cost him his life. They picked the wrong old man to mess with. And as the fury and violence escalate, they're about to learn that...the hard way.

About the Author
Jack Ketchum is the pseudonym for a former actor, singer, teacher, literary agent, lumber salesman, and soda jerk. He is also a former flower child and baby boomer who figures that in 1956 Elvis, dinosaurs and horror probably saved his life. His first novel, Off Season, prompted the Village Voice to publicly scold its publisher in print for publishing violent pornography. He personally disagrees but is perfectly happy to let you decide for yourself. His short story The Box won a 1994 Bram Stoker Award from the HWA and he has written ten novels, including The Girl Next Door, Off Season, and Stranglehold. His stories are collected in The Exit At Toledo Blade Boulevard and Broken on the Wheel of Sex.

As we fight through our Walpurgisnacht hangovers, here's a novel about a man's love for his 🐕. I give to you Jack Ketchum's Red. And when I say man's love for his dog, it's the only way Ketchum would do it—covered in blood. #MutantFam #MutantBookClub 1/4 Harless/@JonHarless21 https://t.co/c595VEFNRf

Praise for this book
"Jack Ketchum is a brilliantly visceral novelist...He is suspenseful, and his novels are page-turners..." --Stephen King
