Despite initially strong sales, the publisher decided to withdraw it from circulation after the first printings were sold out. Critical reaction to it was so strong, in fact, that Ballantine actually stepped back from supporting the novel.
The novel was released, with many well-known publications attacking its depictions of extreme violence. It was Ketchum's first novel and was partially based upon the legend of Sawney Bean, which also inspired Wes Craven's 1977 cult classic horror film The Hills Have Eyes. Off Season is a horror novel written by Jack Ketchum and initially published by Ballantine Books in 1980.
