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 60s 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.

Stephen King, sure, but it takes him 800 pages.
Dean Koontz, yeah maybe, but his moralizing can get out of control.
Richard Laymon... No. Really just no.
One of my new favorites by Jack, it tempts me to go back and listen to all his other ones I have (excepting, probably, Ladies Night.)
Only Ketchum

Ok, so, the book itself was 5/5, but the narration was just something else entirely. The man had a nice voice, good expression, but he mispronounced so many words that it yanked me out of the atmosphere on multiple occasions. I feel like there should be some sort of quality control for narration, especially if it’s being produced by a well-known company.
Intense Book, Incompetent Narrator

I had high hopes for The Lost by Jack Ketchum, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. While the premise of the story—a dark and disturbing tale set in the 1960s—had potential, the execution left much to be desired.
The main issue for me was the pacing. The story dragged on in several parts, making it difficult to stay engaged. The characters, particularly Ray Pye, felt one-dimensional and lacked the depth needed to make their actions believable or compelling. Additionally, the graphic violence and disturbing content seemed gratuitous at times, overshadowing the plot rather than enhancing it.
Ketchum’s writing style is efficient and straightforward, which I usually appreciate, but in this case, it made the narrative feel flat and emotionless. The book’s attempt to delve into the psychological aspects of its characters fell short, leaving me disconnected from their struggles and motivations.
Overall, while The Lost has some moments of tension and horror, it ultimately failed to deliver a satisfying and cohesive story. Fans of Ketchum’s other works might find some value here, but for me, it was a disappointing read.
