Off Season (novel)
''Off Season'' is a horror novel written by Jack Ketchum and initially published by Ballantine Books in 1980. It was Ketchum's first novel and was partially based upon the legend of Sawney Bean, which also inspired Wes Craven's 1977 cult classic horror film ''The Hills Have Eyes''.
The novel was extremely controversial upon release, with many well-known publications attacking its depictions of extreme violence. Critical reaction to it was so strong, in fact, that Ballantine actually stepped back from supporting the novel. Despite initially strong sales the publisher decided to withdraw it from circulation after the first printings were sold out. In 1999 the novel was picked up for re-publication by Cemetery Dance and was released in an "unexpurgated edition" that featured some of the gore that Ballantine initially made Ketchum trim.
==Plot==
The story follows a group of friends from New York City who travel to Dead River, Maine for a weeklong vacation by the coastline. Unbeknownst to them, however, a clan of inbred and cannibalistic savages has taken up residence in a secluded cave very near to them, and after night falls they are attacked by the marauders, forcing them to become as depraved and barbaric as their tormentors in an effort to survive.
