content
The year 1965th In the small town of Sparta, New Jersey, life is peaceful and quiet. The local police have it less to do with violent crime, more experienced, this applies to traffic offenses, marital disputes, the cats is to save it from rain gutters and some minor scuffles between evening pubertal adolescents.

Ray Pye, a narcissistic and psychopathic teenager has his two friends Tim and Jennifer, within its spell. Ray is a tiny man, stuffing his boots with cans and newspapers, and a larger. His egomaniacal impulses lives by the son of a motel owner, as he lives out after his work in his parents' motel, his sexual desires. With the deal drugs, he rigged his buyer that looks the young women into submission. His self-esteem is a fraud on himself

Peace in Sparta will end dramatically on that day. Ray Pye of the camp next to Jennifer and Tom in the forest meets by chance on two young women. On this summer day Pye fired his gun without warning and subject to the two young women. Lisa will be shot down by several bullets in the head and chest and died in the forest.

Jennifer and Tim Ray and cover, four years later, the silent gruesome murders. Out of fear and respect for Ray, they are hearing, and Ray enjoying his power. Despite this he was the main suspect in the murder case, the two police officers Ed Anderson and Charlie Ray Schilling does not lead as the perpetrator. But Charlie is convinced of the guilt Rays, can not let go, and studied with a desperate intensity for evidence. He takes every opportunity to Ray to get him upset.



criticism

"The Lost" by Jack Ketchum is a shock. Anyone who has been Jack Ketchum have not read the novel, the repulsive and fascinating at the same time be.
Jack Ketchum brutal style of the murders, and even to describe the character, he combines disturbing detail. The mere characterization Ray Pye, who with his testosterone-driven development, as a cold and brutal manipulator become a killing machine, is disturbing, but brilliant. Ray Pye is the personified symbol of a time when the generation is fully felt left in the lurch and not really knowing what to do with himself. Again, the author describes very impressively, by what fears and hopes of these young people created their universe and the values they were running behind it.

But not only the Love & Peace generation has to carry her pack here, even the two policemen and the elderly who have their fates and not always aware of how and when they act. Ultimately describes Jack Ketchum aged in a long chain of escalation, as one would upset the first stone of a domino chain. The explosive wave of violence engulfs the end, the innocent and those who survive, in itself carry the guilt or innocence, they question again and again.

That the action on a true story is based, will contribute to the reader even more disturbing. And if one falls on the wording of the author, one can describe it as quite vulgar, but honest. The mental pictures of his characters think and consider the same language, even the dialogue is for the reader who otherwise is the preferred style of fine, more like getting used to.

The power is carried by the characters, and only this. The relationships and dependencies that Machspielchen and the limits of each person are the focus. The dialogue is as simple as credible, and described the choice to tell the chapter from the perspective of different characters, is a true masterpiece. One suspects though how will it turn out, but the road is told completely captivating.
The "evil" here is the sum of the company, that product of our fears and hopes and despondent helplessness that we can not explain.

Conclusion

"The Lost" is difficult to classify! Is it a social drama, horror, or rather, perhaps, but a thriller? It is what it is .... a brilliant novel of lasting effect for hours or even days.
"The Lost" is an explosive and ice-cold thriller in the genre of "hardcore" well placed and makes this title all the glory. The fear that has developed here, can the horror continuously growing, and even at the end of the novel, the reader does not really come to breathe.
Jack Ketchum's "The Lost" is not recommended, not so they leave it and follow the protagonists in a rampage of violence and feelings.
