Jack Ketchum, de son vrai nom Dallas Mayr, recevra une prestigieuse récompense pour l’ensemble de sa carrière : le Lifetime Achievement Award de la Horror Writers Association. Parmi ses prédécesseurs, on retrouve Stephen King, Richard Matheson, Peter Straun, Jon Lansdale et Ann Rice. Voici la motivation du prix :
« Jack Ketchum has been one of the premiere authors in the horror field for many years. His novel, The Girl Next Door, is considered a classic, but he’s written many other equally deeply moving works. Ketchum has won the Bram Stoker Award four times and been nominated an additional three times, showing the broad appeal to his audience. He was named the Grandmaster at the 2011 World Horror Convention. »
