Actually Brian, I think the book I recommended was SUMMER OF NIGHT, which R.J. recommended to me first. So he will destroy you if you don’t finish it.

R.J., thanks for checking out my review, I’m honored.

Unfortunately, I only read about one novel per year. I read so goddamned much at work it isn’t exactly the first thing I want to do when I get home. And I’d rather watch movies. I hope to finish some book Peter recommended (can’t remember the title) sometime in 2009. Maybe I’ll do a Ketchum novel in 2010.

Brian – you really, really ought to read his novels. I recommend you start with OFF SEASON. then Offspring. save Girl Next Door for farther down the line. hit Red and Old Flames (mostly for the included “novella” Right to Life). you can probably skip Cover. his story in Triage is pretty good, if a little half-hearted. I’m going to try and score a 1st edition copy of Hide and Seek from the bookstore near me pretty soon.

also, i’m a little upset that you failed to mention the DVD’s AWFUL menu screen in your review. seriously. WHAT THE FUCK is going in that thing?

RED is easily the strongest Ketchum adaptation. THE LOST is pretty good. it has a creaky sort of film-school charm to it. Senter’s performance is amazing. Bowen and Dee Wallace are very good as well. GIRL NEXT DOOR is a tragic waste, a Lifetime-Original-ized piss-take on what will undoubtedly go down as Ketchum’s most haunting book. seriously, fuck that movie.

cuatiously optimistic about OFFSPRING.

Oh, I remember now. You are the guy who pretends to like heavy metal.
