September. A beautiful New York editor retreats to a lonely cabin on a hill in the quiet Maine beach town of Dead River - off season - awaiting her sister and friends. Nearby, a savage human family with a taste for flesh lurks in the darkening woods, watching, waiting for the moon to rise and night to fall.

And before too many hours pass, five civilized, sophisticated people and one tired old country sheriff will learn just how primitive we all are beneath the surface...and that there are no limits at all to the will to survive.

Flowed really well. People didn't like some of the gore but I'm all for it. It wasn't to much that made the story lose traction. It was a good listen. Fast paced and had me tense up in quite a few moments. People out to relax and end up in a fight for survival that leads to one of the most horrible nights I can remember in a book. Overall I liked this book. Good scary horror.

Nice!

I loved this book. The performance was fantastic and I loved Ketchum's little bit at the end. Something I'll probably read again.

Splendid Horror

I researched gruesome books and this one delivered. The beginning was a bit slow and I wondered what was so terrifying about this book...be patient. It doesn't disappoint.

awesome

Ketchum is a mad beast and I LOVE IT. If you haven't read his other works two of my favorites are The Girl Next Door and Stranglehold, stories that slip under your skin, then pry it from your muscles

Ketchum never disappoints

This is an excellent horror book that I stayed up until 4 AM to finish. It's a great story that gives a plausible setup for a group of feral cannibals hunting a group of believable and non idiotic New Yorkers.

The narrator has a good sounding voice, and reads the narrative bits well enough, but his reading of dialog is absolutely tone deaf and pretty terrible. It's really baffling tbh and the only detraction from the audio book.

Excellent book
