Jack will be at the Morbid Anatomy Museum on Sept. 21, from 7-10pm for an in-depth look at his work and adaptations to the screen, moderated by film writer, programmer and Miskatonic Institute founder Kier-La Janisse.

With clips, images and anecdotes the evening will look at Ketchum’s history on the screen, his frequent collaborations with Lucky McKee and Andrew van den Houten and talk about the horror writers and filmmakers who have influenced his work.

Ladies’ Night

Crossroad Press has published a trade paperback edition of Ladies’ Night, “a non-stop rollercoaster ride of sheer nerve rattling terror, previously deemed too violent for mass market publication. In this modern tale of the ages-old battle of the sexes carried to the extreme, Jack Ketchum again provides readers with an excursion into horror as relentless as a John Woo film.”

This one hasn’t been available for a while, and previous editions are pricey on the secondary market. Now’s as good a time as any to pick up a copy.

“In the war between men and women, the shooting has begun.”
