This edition of Jack Ketchum's "Broken On The Wheel of Sex: The
Jerzy Livingston Years" is the most complete edition of the
"Stroup" stories ever collected together. These stories, written
from 1976 to 1981, and appearing in various men's magazines and
other outlets, offer Ketchum readers a look into this author's
formulative years. This is where Jack Ketchum honed his writing
craft that has become so well known with his novels The Girl Next
Door, The Crossing, Off Season and The Lost. Collected here is his
character simply known as the "Stroup" stories written under the
pseudonym Jerzy Livingston, which are rare and difficult to locate
almost thirty years after the original publications gave them life.
"I've called these the Jerzy Livingston years because over half of
them were written under that name and the rest under my real one.
Somehow Jerzy seems more appropriate for this collection. My
adoption of that particular pseudonym was both a joke - a play on
words -and a nod to a very good writer, which I hoped some day to
be." - Jack Ketchum, from the author's introduction. Also includes
Afterwords for each story by the author.

Real estate mogul Russell Dodge has coveted Maine's pristine
Sheffield Peak for years, so when its owner finally decides to
sell, Dodge hurries to Maine to close the deal right before
Christmas. On his drive to the plane that will take him back to
Manhattan, he daydreams about his plans to turn the Peak into an
opulent ski resort with a three hundred room hotel, two
restaurants, a health club, condos and much more. Euphoric, he
takes narrow Sheffield road to the airport instead of the highway
in order to catch one more look at his prize - a fateful decision
that sparks a traumatic turn of events that sends him into a very
different world from the one he has always known, a world where
people don't have much - just everything that matters - and makes
him question the way he has always lived.
An elderly junk dealer finds redemption in a defunct burlesque
theater. A middle-aged Jewish man discovers the aphrodisiacal
powers of a Ku Klux Klan uniform. An annual street carnival
provides the venue for legalized murder. A hopeless young factory
worker uses her savings to pay for a fantasy tryst with her idol, a
dead rock star, and is shattered by the experience. Welcome to the
world of Christopher Fahy, a world of fantastical transformation,
where the ordinary takes bizarre and macabre twists. These are
among the twenty-two stories (which includes one extra story in
this hard cover version) fantasy stories in the latest Overlook
Connection Press release, Christopher Fahy's Matinee at the Flame.
