Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
| Dead River / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Both Offspring and The Woman depict 'civilized' human characters as being more monstrous and depraved than the cannibals who are just following their own nature. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Dead River / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The first edition of Off Season leaves unresolved the fate of the clan leader's penis after Marjie bites it off. The mystery is resolved in the unexpurgated edition: she spits it out. In an afterword, Ketchum expresses amusement that the original publishers presumably found the prospect of her having swallowed it to be less disturbing. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Dead River / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Ketchum's final story "Endgame" has the Woman and the rest of her clan definitively killed off, albeit with the implication there may be living offspring still out there. | |
