Synopsis "The Lost"

It was the summer of 1965. Ray, Tim, and Jennifer were just three teenage friends hanging out in the campgrounds, drinking a little. But Tim and Jennifer didn't know what their friend Ray had in mind. And if they'd known, they wouldn't have thought he was serious. Then they saw what he did to the two girls at the neighboring campsite--and knew he was dead serious.Four years later, the sixties were drawing to a close. No one ever charged Ray with the murders in the campgrounds, but there was one cop determined to make him pay. Ray figured he was in the clear. Tim and Jennifer thought the worst was behind them, that the horrors were all in the past. They were wrong. The worst was yet to come.

American writer, Jack Ketchum (1946-2018) is considered one of the most important voices in contemporary American horror. Pseudonym of Dallas Mayr, Ketchum's work has been labeled obscene and pornographic for its excessive violence

As a child, he was unsociable and solitary, preferring to wander through the forest or reading his favorite books and comics rather than spending time with other children. During that time, he met who would become his mentor and friend, Robert Bloch, author of Psycho

His works have received praise from major authors of the genre like Stephen King. Throughout his career, he received awards as significant as the Stoker, in both short story and novel categories. Several of his works were also adapted into film and television.
