Search - Offspring

This book picks up about ten years after the terrible events that occurred in 'Off Season.' A survivor of the cannibal clan, thought to be dead, has returned to the small town of Dead River, Maine with her new family and they are hungry. The sheriff, who thought he had killed off these savages ten years ago, is called out of retirement to help capture them, find their new cave. 'Offspring' is just as gory and disgusting as it's predecessor with enough back story given to stand alone.

When I read this book, I didn't know it was a sequel and it stands alone just fine. It's gross enough and disgusting enough and no indication that it's a sequel. If you like gore and like to be disgusted with your horror, you'll like it. Let's just say this, "Chomp chomp"

I did not know this book was a sequal to Ketchum's OFF SEASON when I ordered it, and it works as a stand-alone story. There's no need to know the events that previously occurred to understand what happens in this book.

That being said, I thought the story moved awfully fast. Maybe I'm just used to horror novels with loads of victims piling up before the conclusion. That doesn't happen here. The story was pretty gruesome and frightning, though. And I found the ending satisfying. I now want to read the prequel.

this was a very easy book to read pretty sick and a little scary at times. But not the scariest or most gruesome book ive ever read. hat i did like about the book was that the story was to the point they didnt wander too much on mundane details and what i didnt like about the book was maybe it was a little too much to the point so much that it seemed to leave out information about the characters that made you care weather or not they lived or died.
But i suppose a good thing is i did not feel as if i wasted time reading this book it was well worth the day it took.

The sequel to Off Season, a fast read, maybe too short,the usual blood, terror, guts, and gore. If you loved Off Season you'll like this.

This is one of the few books that kept me reading.. It was pretty creepy.
