Synopsis "broken on the wheel of sex - hard cover"
This edition of Jack Ketchum's "Broken On The Wheel of Sex: The Jerzy Livingston Years" is the most complete edition of the "Stroup" stories ever collected together. New introduction by Jack Ketchum: "The Goblin On The Dance Floor." These stories, written from 1976 to 1981, and appearing in various men's magazines and other outlets, offer Ketchum readers a look into this author's formulative years. This is where Jack Ketchum honed his writing craft that has become so well known with his novels The Girl Next Door, The Crossing, Off Season and The Lost. Collected here is his character simply known as the "Stroup" stories written under the pseudonym Jerzy Livingston, which are rare and difficult to locate almost thirty years after the original publications gave them life. "I've called these the Jerzy Livingston years because over half of them were written under that name and the rest under my real one. Somehow Jerzy seems more appropriate for this collection. My adoption of that particular pseudonym was both a joke - a play on words -and a nod to a very good writer, which I hoped some day to be." - Jack Ketchum, from the author's introduction. Also includes Afterwords for each story by the author.
Escritor americano, Jack Ketchum (1946-2018) es considerado una de las voces del terror más importantes en el panorama contemporáneo estadounidense. Seudónimo de Dallas Mayr, la obra de Ketchum ha sido tildada de obscena y pornográfica por su exceso de violencia.
Ya en su infancia era un niño poco sociable y solitario, prefiriendo pasear por el bosque o leyendo sus libros y cómics favoritos a pasar tiempo con otros niños. En esa época conoció a quien sería su mentor y amigo Robert Bloch, autor de Psicosis.
Sus obras han recibido elogios de grandes autores del género como Stephen King. A lo largo de su trayectoria recibió premios tan importantes como el Stoker, tanto en relato corto como en novela. También varios de sus trabajos fueron adaptados al cine y a la televisión.
