How does Open Season compare to The Girl Next Door, Urge? That's the only one of Ketchum's books that I've read, and to this day it remains the single most distressing thing I've ever read. If Open Season is more depressing than that, it should come with a prepackaged straight razor.
Sorry you didn't like Keene's books, by the way. I know that his style is... er... straightforward (or simple, as you put it) but something about the struggle of the characters to survive in a dead world (pun intended) really connected with me.
