Undertaker's Moon

De: Ronald Kelly

Narrado por: J. Rodney Turner

A graveyard feast beneath the summer moon....

The rural town of Old Hickory. Tennessee was a quiet, picturesque community...until the O'Sheas came to town.

Becoming the new proprietors of the town's only funeral parlor, with the help of their charming patriarch, Square McManus, the Irish family was wholeheartedly accepted by the local town folk. The thing began to happen. Strange things...horrible, unspeakable things...in the dead of night.

The sighting of wolfish beasts congregating around an open grave in the town cemetery. Frightening changes in several of Old Hickory's less desirable residents. And the brutal murder and devourment of a varsity football player in the wooded wilderness outside of town. Soon, what was once concealed in shadow and secrecy was now starkly revealed, in all its ravenous fury, by the silvery light of the full moon.

As the residents of Old Hickory, as well as the local police, begin to fall victim to an unknown evil, four individuals - the town nerd, a high school jock, a widowed gunsith, and a mysterious transient from a distant shore - find themselves facing what could possibly be a hellish lycanthrope from ancient Ireland...the legendary Arget Bethir...the Silver Beast.

Great werewolf story

A rip-your-throat-out creature feature that has kicked off my spooky season the right way. UNDERTAKER’S MOON by Ronald Kelly is an exciting read that has you cringing for your favorite characters to wake up and see what is going on.
The town of Old Hickory, Tennessee just got some new residents. A funeral director and his family have moved into the funeral home and are hoping to make a new life in this quiet town. At least, that’s what they want the townsfolk to believe.
This starts off so violent and shocking, and with Ronald Kelly’s easy storytelling, you find yourself nestled into this quaint town like a fly on the wall. You know what is going on to some extent, as the people you know walk blindly into traps that you can do nothing about.
If you call yourself a werewolf fan and have not read this then you are doing yourself a disservice. Even if werewolves are not your thing, this is still great classic monster entertainment. Don’t wait for the next full moon to read this, or it might be too late for you. 🌕🐺

This is a great Werewolf Story

I really enjoyed listening to this book. This one really pulls you in, I'm not good at writing reviews. The storyline and characters make this one awesome. I also liked the fact that it isn't full of profanity like many of the other stories with this type of theme.
If you get it you won't be disappointed.

Great werewolf story

Better than teen wolf because characters actually die and when they get hurt they heal

wow and another Wow

this will be short....
If you like a a good werewolf story this one is really good
it grabs you and keep it frslesh and interesting.
a mist in my opinion
ty author and narrator

The narrator. Such a smooth and easy style each sentence is delivered like warm suryp potent with sweet imagination.

As I listen to each chapter I can't help but think of the horror movies of my youth. American Werewolf, The Howling, and Silver Bullet. It was a time when monsters were make-up and mechanical and the greats like Rick Baker lovingly breathed life into them.
Each turn, while not unexpected, still held sizzle and ghastly glee delivered in dulcet tones. If you like a good yarn and devour Werewolf stories, as I do, add this to your wish list and beware Luna's radiant eye.

good stuff!!

awesome story...I'm sad it had to end. scary and very well written and spoken....I want it to keep going

good book, although a bit predictive.

it took me a little while to warm to the narrator, but he did a good job. the story is a little to easy to predict, but still worth the time.

narrator was odd

narrator made it a little hard to listen with his whisper talking. but story was good.

Irish Baroque Meets Southern Comfort

This is one of the best werewolf novels I’ve listened to or read.

The story and characters are solid, but what really sets it apart from others is the author and narrators ability to balance the modern America South with Ireland of decades/centuries past.

There are some examples of racism, but they weren’t used in any way other than to truly depict The South (recent history and, unfortunately, lingering - I’m from the Northeastern US and it’s still, unfortunately, very much present). I added this last paragraph because I appreciate the author adding it as it helped make the fictional tale more ‘real’.

excellent book

excellent writing with edge of your seat suspense and a great conclusion. looking forward to more
