Closing Time and Other Stories by Jack Ketchum

From award-winning author and storyteller Jack Ketchum comes nineteen bleak stories of loss and pain. This is the author's newest collection, and includes his Bram Stoker Award-winning novella Closing Time. Also included: Returns, Damned If You Do, Station Two, Elusive, Papa, The Fountain, Do You Love Your Wife?, At Home with the VCR, Those Rockports Won't Get You Into Heaven, Olivia: A Monologue, Brave Girl, Honor System, Lighten Up, Hotline, Monster, Consensual, Seascape, and Snarl, Hiss, Spit, Stalk. Though Stoker-winner Ketchum is best known for his novels of hardcore horror (Off Season, etc.), the 19 stories in this collection reveal his skill at crafting short and subtle mood pieces about everyday folk who find themselves wrestling with overpowering emotions that occasionally open them to macabre experience. -Publisher's Weekly

Ketchum, Jack: -

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. He has written many 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.
