Order of Jack Ketchum Books

Jack Ketchum is an American novelist known for writing horror novels. Stephen King has said that “the only novelist working today that is writing more important fiction is Cormac McCarthy” which is high praise from the king of horror.
Jack Ketchum is actually a pseudonym for novelist Dallas Mayr. He has won numerous Bram Stoker Awards for his work. While some books have become adapted for film such as Red and The Lost. One of his biggest successes on the international level was for The Woman which was also made into a film co-written and directed by Lucky McKee.
