Jack Ketchums beunruhigender, grenzüberschreitender Horrorthriller gilt unter Experten als eines der großen Meisterwerke des Genres. Die Geschichte eines Jungen, der inmitten einer amerikanischen Vorstadtidylle mit unvorstellbaren Grausamkeiten konfrontiert wird, steigt tief hinab in die Abgründe der menschlichen Psyche. Nachdem der brillant geschriebene Roman viele Jahre unter der Hand als geheimer Klassiker die Runde gemacht hatte, erhält er jetzt nicht zuletzt dank Stephen King, der zu diesem Werk auch eine ausführliche Einleitung verfasst hat, die verdiente Aufmerksamkeit und erscheint nun endlich auch als deutsche Erstausgabe.
Drei junge Paare wollen eine Urlaubswoche in einem abgelegenen Ferienhaus an der amerikanischen Ostküste verbringen. Was sie nicht wissen: Die Gegend wird von einer Gruppe Verwahrloster heimgesucht, die unter primitivsten Bedingungen leben und Urlauber nur als Beute betrachten. Die Jagd beginnt ? Jack Ketchums brillanter Debütroman gilt schon lange als Klassiker der Horrorliteratur. Sein entlarvender Blick auf die Grundmauern unserer Gesellschaft ist ein schockierender Kommentar auf die Frage, wo Menschlichkeit und Zivilisation aufhören und die Herrschaft ungezügelter Brutalität beginnt.
