In fact, the book received extraordinary praise from none other than Stephen King at the 2003 National Book Awards. His first novel Off Season went on to receive widespread popularity and critical acclaim. Henry Miller invited the young Ketchum into his Pacific Palisades home, and soon after became his agent, helping him publish his first novel “Off Season”. He credits the chance acquaintance he made with Henry Miller while he was interning at the Scott Meredith Literary Agency as the turning point in his budding writing career. As a teenager, he had the honor of meeting “Psycho” author, Robert Bloch, who would become his mentor and friend until his death in 1994. Born in Livingstone, NJ, Ketchum has worked as a lumber sales representative, a teacher, and actor before becoming a novelist. Jack Ketchum is the pen name of American horror novelist Dallas Mayr.
