Narrative Concering Books The Woman (Dead River Series #3)
The Woman is the last of her kind, the lone survivor of a tribe of feral cannibals who have terrorized the Maine coast for years. She is wounded and weak, but she's found refuge in a cave overlooking the sea. Christopher Cleek is an amoral—and unstable—lawyer who sees her bathing in a stream one day while he's out hunting. Cleek has dark, cruel secrets and he will now add one more. He will capture the Woman, lock her in his cellar, and attempt to tame her, with the help of his wife and children. But very soon the question will become: Who is more savage, the hunter or the prey?

Like Off Season and Offspring before it, The Woman continues the Ketchum tradition of shock 'em and drop 'em (your jaws that is). Like a still warm carcass, The Woman is freshly spilled blood on a tried and tested horror sub genre - cannibalism; tender and warm to begin with, rotting and germ infested by the end - though one could argue it either way around in this case.The early scenes introduce a normal American middle class family in the Cleeks, a young successful father, his homemaker wifeThe Woman is the third act of a harrowing tale begun in Jack Ketchum's legendary Offseason, a tale of feral cannibals living in the woods, hunting and breeding and terrorizing the Maine coast. The Woman begins with the last surviving member of this savage clan seeking refuge in cave, resting and healing from wounds inflicted upon her when her clan was attacked and killed by those hunting them.But this survivor isn't left in peace for long. Because she's spotted by Christopher Cleek, a
Have you ever read a book and afterwards felt a little disgusted with yourself for even going there? Sick and brutal horror thriller. I do have to say though, justice was served. Time for a brain mint.
hmm. i should have realized this was the third part of a trilogy before i read this. i have read reviews of this on here before that explicitly stated this, but for some reason, i just blanked that out when i was choosing my books for "october is spooky." this is a perfectly fine self-contained story, but i think i might have felt more connection to it had i read the first two and been better able to connect with the characters from their previous storylines.so, a cannibal woman happily living
[Off topic]Right, so this is what happened. Since I posted my review of The Girl Next Door, Ive been contacted by a few Ketchum fans who very convincingly made the case that my decision to stay away from this guy to make sure I preserve my good opinion of him isnt fair because, regardless of his deserved reputation for excessive gore, TGND isnt the only book where hes made it his business to give voice and dignity to victims.I got different recommendations (though everybody said I should keep
Every voracious reader has a guilty pleasure reads, admit it, you know you do. Maybe its precocious scared wizard children attending a secret school, or maybe its sparkly vampires, or maybe its time traveling nurses who cant get home because they are too busy rolling in the hay with their bonnie lad of a husband. Whatever the case, these are the novels you are slightly embarrassed to admit you own, or feel like you should be checking the books out on your childs or partners library card. Well
First of all, this is my first Ketchum book (I did not know it was a part of a series; however, it did stand well alone), and I must also say I have not been disturbed by a piece of writing for some time. Besides the obvious shock factors of the plot itself, what really struck me were the different portrayals of women throughout the novel. It's as if Ketchum thought of every aspect of women, in contrast to the evil, one-dimensional man. The dominant male of the story is Christopher Cleek, a
