I realy liked this book. it was very well written, the characters are like people i see in my home town every day, ha ha. the ending was very different from the usual bad guy gets his and everybody lives happily ever after stuff. I haven't seen the movie but i have a feeling i'll like the book better. i look foward to reading more from Jack Ketchum.

"The Lost" is another Jack Ketchem's meteor that lights up the sky in the psychological/horror/suspense genre. For those who seek a writer who brings terror and suspense to this genre, he's one of the best and he delivers with a shuttering impact. His 'The Girl Next Door' brought horror to a new light and this story breaks the sound barrier as we follow Ray Pye a young psychopath whose senseless killing of two young girls in the past haunts a small town, but more is coming as detective Schilling pursues that unsolved case with his intense eye on Ray Pye. Pye is a manipulator who takes control of those he selects as friends. He controls them and uses them for his own needs. And they come to fear him, not challenging his demands. But with pressure from Det. Schilling and his intense investigation, Pye becomes more deranged in his obsessive desires. As Det. Schilling ups the pressure, Ray Pye becomes more intense in his control. An ending that brings psychological insanity to full bloom and is terrifying. In short, a psychological thriller that will make you shutter.
