Old Flames

Really looking forward to this new Ketchum title, due out from both Cemetery Dance in hc and from Leisure in pb. The Leisure issue will also have the very hard-to-find novella Right to Life.
Tom Piccirilli is the author of twenty novels including THE COLD SPOT, THE MIDNIGHT ROAD, THE DEAD LETTERS, and A CHOIR OF ILL CHILDREN. Learn more at: www.tompiccirilli.com

I've read the ARC for Leisure, and will be reviewing it this summer. My first Ketchum book, and it was good - slapped me around, though! :)

I'm a big Ketchum fan. But haven't got to Old Flames yet. I think The Girl Next Door was one of the hardest books I've ever had to read.
Life is full of sub-text. There are mysteries to be solved.

Really liked "Old Flames," though I preferred the second story, "RIght to Life." I'm with Lee Thompson on THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. Fantastic book, but dark as fuck. I couldn't bear to see the movie!

It's about time to read another Ketchum book. Old Flames is sitting on my bookshelf, calling to me...

It's eaither Old Flames or Triage.

As for The Girl Next Door, that one was deeply disturbing yet impossible to put down. After I was through reading it I just sat there for a moment considering humanity. The book was very real, as it was based on a true story, but more so because that kind of shit really happens, and far too frequently.
Name your god and bleed the freak.
