Jack Ketchum, né en 1946, est considéré comme l'un des plus importants auteurs américains vivants. Derrière ce pseudonyme (inspiré du nom des bourreaux britanniques) se cache un écrivain qui fut le secrétaire de Henry Miller. Jack Ketchum a publié trente romans et novellas, dont quelques chefs-d'oeuvre du genre, comme Morte Saison, Une fille comme les autres ou Fils Unique. Cinq d'entre eux ont fait l'objet d'une adaptation au cinéma et sa prose est traduite dans seize langues. Il a remporté quatre fois le Bram Stoker Award, une distinction décernée par la prestigieuse Horror Writers Association, qui, en 2015, lui a décerné un Prix Spécial pour l'Ensemble de son OEuvre, consécration réservée à un petit nombre d'auteurs dont Stephen King, Peter Straub, Ann Rice et Richard Matheson.
Born and raised in a small harbor town in the south of Ireland, Kealan Patrick Burke knew from a very early age that he was going to be a horror writer. The combination of an ancient locale, a horror-loving mother, and a family full of storytellers, made it inevitable that he would end up telling stories for a living. Since those formative years, he has written five novels, over a hundred short stories, six collections, and edited four acclaimed anthologies. In 2004, he was honored with the Bram Stoker Award for his novella The Turtle Boy.
Kealan has worked as a waiter, a drama teacher, a mapmaker, a security guard, an assembly-line worker at Apple Computers, a salesman (for a day), a bartender, landscape gardener, vocalist in a grunge band, curriculum content editor, fiction editor at Gothic.net, and, most recently, a fraud investigator.
When not writing, Kealan designs book covers through his company Elderlemon Design.
A movie based on his short story "Peekers" is currently in development as a major motion picture.
