Synopsis "Red "

The old man hears them before he sees them, the three boys coming over the hill, disturbing the peace by the river where he's fishing. He smells gun oil too, too much oil on a brand-new shotgun. These aren't hunters, they're rich kids who don't care about the river and the fish and the old man.Or his dog. Red is the name of the old man's dog, his best friend in the world. And when the boys shoot the dog--for nothing, for simple spite--he sees red, like a mist before his eyes. And before the whole thing is done there'll be more red. Red for blood...NOW A FILM BY LUCKY McKEE & TRYGVE ALLISTER DIESEN! Starring Brian Cox, Amanda Plummer, Robert Englund, Noel Fisher, Kyle Gallner, Shiloh Fernandez, and Kim Dickens.

American writer, Jack Ketchum (1946-2018) is considered one of the most important voices in contemporary American horror. Pseudonym of Dallas Mayr, Ketchum's work has been labeled obscene and pornographic for its excessive violence

As a child, he was unsociable and solitary, preferring to wander through the forest or reading his favorite books and comics rather than spending time with other children. During that time, he met who would become his mentor and friend, Robert Bloch, author of Psycho

His works have received praise from major authors of the genre like Stephen King. Throughout his career, he received awards as significant as the Stoker, in both short story and novel categories. Several of his works were also adapted into film and television.
