The Woman is the powerful story of the last survivor of a feral tribe of cannibals who have been terrorizing the East Coast - from Maine into Canada - for years now. Badly wounded in a battle with police, a woman takes refuge in a cave overlooking the sea. Christopher Cleek is a slick, amoral - and unstable - country lawyer who, out hunting one day, sees her bathing in a stream. Fascinated, he follows her to her cave.

Cleek has many dark secrets and to these he'll add another. He will capture her, lock in his fruit cellar, in order to tame her, civilize her. To this end, he'll enlist his long-suffering wife Belle, his teenage son, Brian, and daughter, Peg, and even his little girl, Darlin', to aid him. So the question soon becomes: who is more savage? The hunter or the game?

Great 3 rd novel sequel to Off-season and Offspring was made into a by the numbers movie excellently played by Irish actress Pollyanna MacIntosh, The Woman, showed how a civilized family can dwell into the depths of depravity and madness, just as quick as the savage,The Woman, can muster up a iota of compassion for her captors. Loved the ending and for those grossed out by this story, I have to ask? Have you ever read Jack Ketchum before? Do you even know the term splatter punk and what it means? Go back to your Dean Koontz novels and quit insulting one of the masters of the genre .

The Woman is a tale of madness and depravity

Another Jack Ketchum Lucky McKee masterpiece in horror! Revealing anything about the plot would spoil it for the reader. Just know that it is not for the faint of heart.

Chet Williamson’s narration chillingly brings to life each of the characters. I will definitely be looking for other books narrated by him.

I enjoyed this book and the first one, ‘Off Season’. I wish this one were longer and full of more details but it was still a great listen.

Great follow up

This is a unique and deeply disturbing book about the consequences of messing with mother nature and all of her wonderful children. There's a very important lesson to be learned from this insightful book.

It's like the movie "Falling Down" set deep in the forest, with a female protagonist who uses her other attributes to achieve her goal of getting back at a world that's beaten her down.

Although disturbing, I enjoyed it greatly and was happier for having read it.

Sex! Violence! Incest! S&M! Abuse! Sexploitation!

Story definitely has some intense moments, and props to the narration team for holding it together. The performance was good, articulate, and delivered the subject matter very well.

The story itself, isn't the worst, but isn't the best, three stars. As a fan of Hellraiser and the associated media, I can enjoy some quality body horror. That said, some of the inclusions here were more sexual grossout than what I would register as body horror. However, the concept of an inherited/taught perversion was delivered realistically and didn't seem forced for the sake of the aforementioned gross factor.

More Grossout than Horror

Like most good Horror stories, this gets creepier as it goes along for a finale, with several cool twists. It is book three in a series, but it is not necessary to have read the other two books. It is interesting to see who the bad guys are and who the good guys are. The book does involve rape, torture and incest. It was entertaining throughout and appealed to my sophomoric intellect. If your a Jack Ketchum fan, you need to add this to your collection.

Horror, Jack Ketchum Style

I will say I watched the movie long before I knew there was a book. The movie was raw and the book is even more so. I felt they were very close so I wasn't as excited to hear almost the same dialogue, but I still really enjoyed listening to the source material for the movie. If you haven't seen the movie do yourself a favor and watch it after you listen to the book. Was hoping that the book would be longer but glad it wasn't as I couldn't stop listening once I started, even knowing how it ends I was hooked and had to make it through in one sitting. This book is brutally dark, graphic, twisted and totally an awesome listen. Those familiar with Ketchum's work will know exactly what you are instore for, those who are not just be warned about the graphic nature of this book. Either way, sit back, listen, and enjoy. Chet Williamson, as always, did a great job with the narration. I loved his character voices and the overall ambiance he adds to the story. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
