Unholy revival!

Josiah Craven had been all but forgotten for nearly a hundred years.

To his descendants, he was nothing more than an imposing image in an old tintype photograph and the subject of stories told in hushed tones before the fireplace at night. A traveling mountain preacher who had returned from his wanderings and died under mysterious circumstances - buried in an unmarked grave with a wooden stake through his heart. Dudley Craven had heard the tales, but never believed them...until his plow unearthed an ancient coffin in the center of a lonesome mountain pasture.

Now Josiah is back, and his true nature has been revealed. Hungering for the blood and obedience of his kin, he roams the Appalachian Mountains with only one purpose in mind...to initiate his family into a dark church of the damned.

Only a trio of unlikely foes summon the courage to bring Josiah’s ungodly mission to an end. An alcoholic carpenter who will do anything to save his wife and children, a timid preacher’s wife with a love of horror literature and film and the knowledge to defeat the undead, and a moonshine-making mountain man who once encountered a similar evil in the dark tunnels beneath the jungles of Vietnam.

Together, they will ascend the peak of Craven’s Mountain to do battle with Josiah Craven and his congregation of the living dead!

I enjoyed this story. ‘Blood Kin’ is a well-written vampire story that fans of the genre will get a kick out of. Josiah Craven stands out as fun and sinister villain. Also included is a bonus story that serves as a prequel.

Gary Noon is a solid narrator with the right amount of twang the story requires.

I would also recommend ‘Fear’ by this author.

Effective Southern Gothic vampire story

This is the best vampire story I’ve read since Midnight Mass. I love to read and watch movies in the horror, supernatural and paranormal genre. I go through books pretty fast and always hate when I finish a great one such as Blood Kin. Definitely recommend!

BLOOD KIN by Ronald Kelly is a vampire story with a very classic feel to it. Ronald Kelly gives us some great well fleshed out characters who while had their flaws, I found myself cheering for them to survive. Warning not all characters live for the Hollywood happy ending in this bad boy!
