Only Child (aka Strangehold)

"This is a devastating novel, perhaps too powerful to be published in the United States. Jack Ketchum at his terrifying best!" -- Stephen King

Mr. King wrote this for the British edition of ONLY CHILD (aka Stranglehold). And, while he was wrong about its publishability in the United States, he was dead right about the rest. Arthur Danse is one of Ketchum's most dark and frightening creations. A user, a violent abuser and quite possibly much, much worse. And it falls to his wife Lydia to protect the life and sanity of both herself and her six-year-old son -- their only child.

Jack Ketchum has written a new Afterword.
