Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: disagree - I'm a fan of Smokey's reviews and her lists of horror titles. In fact she has inspired me to go buy quite a few new novels - including Bryan Smith's 'House of Blood' and 'Queen of Blood'. Also the absolutely brilliant 'Pressure' by Jeff Strand. So a great big thanks for those... I have read 'Off Season' - the 'original' version and Ketchum's preferred 'unexpurgated' edition, which is really a chance to restore the bleaker ending. 'Offspring' scared me more than the first book. I felt for the characters - David, Amy, Claire, Luke, and baby Melissa. I found it hard to turn the page wondering what was about to happen to them. (I haven't felt that level of terror in a book since reading Laymon's 'In The Dark'.) Ketchum is a psychologically acute writer. And he gets the anthropological sense of 'The Family' just right. It didn't feel like a lame sequel at all, but a darker shift of the lens. However, I won't be able to look at kitchen taps the same way after reading this. In the midst of all the awfulness is a sense of Ketchum's wisdom amd humanity. It's not what one would expect from a 'renegade' horror writer, but you can find treasure in the strangest places. (His book 'Cover' is one of the best novels ever about the effects of Vietnam, next to Kent Anderson's 'Sympathy For The Devil'.) I'm glad Ketchum is getting a bigger readership from the film tie-ins. He is one hell of a 21st century writer - examining the primal in human nature. This book is very well crafted - from the horrific beginning to the devastating end. Definitely worth a read. Review: Excellent, tense thriller. Plowed through it in a couple of days. - Gripping writing style, fantastic setting and punctuated by visceral, gruesome horror. Great concept, particularly the primal tribe of ritualistic semi-humans. Characters that keep you hooked in. Exactly what I want from a psychological thriller. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 160,687 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 472 in Horror Thrillers 1,475 in Psychological Fiction (Books) 1,898 in Crime, Thriller & Mystery Adventures | | Customer reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (1,423) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 2.54 x 20.96 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1477806229 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1477806227 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 300 pages | | Publication date | 12 Mar. 2013 | | Publisher | 47North | ## Images ![Offspring - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s9duJFq3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ disagree *by D***Y on 8 February 2010* I'm a fan of Smokey's reviews and her lists of horror titles.

Plowed through it in a couple of days. *by A***E on 29 March 2017* Gripping writing style, fantastic setting and punctuated by visceral, gruesome horror. Great concept, particularly the primal tribe of ritualistic semi-humans. Characters that keep you hooked in. Exactly what I want from a psychological thriller. ### ⭐⭐⭐ More of the same. *by M***W on 13 June 2024* I was disappointed with this sequel. I loved the first one but this just seemed a rehash. Ketchum is great at action scenes and horror is suitable nasty. Just didn’t engage. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/55486012-offspring](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/55486012-offspring) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
