Summary
OFF SEASON: THE UNEXPURGATED EDITION is one of the most graphic horror novels ever written. Originally published in a heavily edited version (in 1981), this book was nonetheless extremely influential to creation of the splatterpunk movement of the 1980s. Focusing on a group of young adults on vacation in the Maine wilderness besieged by cannibals, this is a razor-sharp study of human emotion and response 'in extremis.'

The Lost
by Jack Ketchum
You Come When I Call You
by Douglas Clegg
A man called Desolation Angel brings his friends back to their hometown twenty years after the three of them commited an act of unspeakable horror.
Haunted
by Chuck Palahniuk
HAUNTED is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter—sometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined "Artists' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months" and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But "here" turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theater where they are utterly isolated from the outside world—and where heat and power and, most important, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more desperate the stories they tell—and the more devious their machinations become to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/nonfiction blockbuster that will certainly be made from their plight. HAUNTED is at one level a satire of reality television— The Real World meets Alive . It draws from a great literary tradition— The Canterbury Tales , The Decameron , the English storytellers in the Villa Diodati who produced, among other works, Frankenstein —to tell an utterly contemporary tale of people desperate that their story be told at any cost. Appallingly entertaining, HAUNTED is Chuck Palahniuk at his finest—which means his most extreme and his most provocative.
