About this listen
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!

They were called diablos hoyos. Vicious black-furred beasts that fought in the pit with the raw fury and savage ferocity of Satan himself. For their owners, they were a lucrative investment. For the people of Sulphur Springs, Texas, they were the best entertainment they'd had in a long while. For Bowie Kane, they were his darkest nightmare come true.

The rural town of Harmony, Tennessee, possessed a disturbing secret; a secret so ancient that most of its residents were completely unaware of it. Even the last survivors of a vigilante raid long ago have filed the tragic events of that autumn night away, totally unaware of the evil that remains, dormant, but forever patient, among the tall pines and thick-leaved kudzu of a place known only as Hell Hollow.

But 10-year-old Jeb Sweeny knows the horrible stories are true. His best friend Mandy just disappeared.

Midnight. Some call it the witching hour. Others call it the devil’s hour. Here in the graveyard, midnight is a very special time. It is a time when ghostly spirits are at their strongest, when the veil between our world and theirs is at its thinnest. Legend has it, that while most of the world is asleep, the lack of prayers allow the spirits to communicate under the cover of darkness, among the headstones, their whispers rustling in the leaves of the old oak trees. But if you’re here in the graveyard, you can tell yourself it’s just the wind....

It was passed down from generation to generation. The legend of The Dark'Un, the strange beast that roamed Pale Dove Mountain. The dark monster that no one had ever seen - at least not and lived to tell about it - except, so it was said, old Fletcher Brice who lived at the foot of the mountain. No one really believed in The Dark'Un. It was just a story to make a child's flesh crawl.

From out of a shadowy backwoods hollow echoes a dark threat from the past, nearly a century lost and forgotten. The rural town of Harmony, Tennessee, possessed a disturbing secret; a secret so ancient that most of its residents were completely unaware of it. Even the last survivors of a vigilante raid long ago have filed the tragic events of that autumn night away, totally unaware of the evil that remains, dormant, but forever patient, among the tall pines and thick-leaved kudzu of a place known only as Hell Hollow.

He’s back! That was the first thought that crossed Cindy Biggs’ mind when she heard of the brutal triple-murder in her hometown of Coleman. Yes, the awful crime was nearly identical to the one performed during her hard-scrabble childhood at the time of the Great Depression. But this was 2014, not 1936. Cindy was no longer an innocent nine-year-old child, but an elderly woman who used her gift of second sight to assist the police every now and then.

The summer of 1932 was a troublesome one for Jack Alder. His grandmother's health was fairing poorly, they were having a difficult time making ends meet during the Great Depression, and the town banker was threatening foreclosure on the family farm. The future seemed dismal and help was nowhere in sight. But Grandmama's faith in God brought renewed hope in the form of a childhood toy lost decades ago in an abandoned cave; an antique toy that could earn enough to drive the wolf from their door. It would take a journey across three rural counties to get them there...

It was passed down from generation to generation. The legend of The Dark'Un, the strange beast that roamed Pale Dove Mountain. The dark monster that no one had ever seen - at least not and lived to tell about it - except, so it was said, old Fletcher Brice who lived at the foot of the mountain. No one really believed in The Dark'Un. It was just a story to make a child's flesh crawl.

Effective Southern Gothic vampire story
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.

Classic Vampire Tale
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!

A very listenable novel with a bonus novella
Firstly, the bonus novella at the end of the book was a surprise, and it is called “The Wanderer of Twilight Mountain" (it was NOT in the original Zebra Books paperback).
If you like King's 'SALEMS LOT and you're looking for a similar-themed story, look no further than BLOOD KIN by Ronald Kelly. It's about a small town that recently has a vampire problem. The title alludes to one of the main vampires mostly turning his kin folk into the undead. Of course, there are some town folks that don't like this idea, and they aim to stop this southern bloodsucker. Ronald Kelly pours on the southern charm and covers it with blood in this tale. I highly recommend it. Please note, I received this audiobook free of charge and I am giving it my own honest review.

Blood Kin
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!

Pretty good story
I was given this book for free from audiobook boom and asked to leave an unbiased review for the author and narrator.
I thought this was a pretty good story, could have had more about the actual vampires, but it wasn't bad. The narrator did a pretty good job, but I would have liked more emotion and I like when the narrators "perform" the book to bring it to life. Do the various character voices rather than just read them or change your voice a little.

Blood Kin
Bloody good old fashioned horror novel. A ghoul from the past gets dug up and decimates a town. Gary Noon was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I like Ronald Kelly's writing style. He has an easy flow to his narrative and always keeps the plot moving.
A very entertaining read.

High Noon reads about a small town afraid of night
If'n you like vampires this is your bag. Blood Kin does NOT pull any punches. Kelly creates likable characters, and then proceeds to put the in danger, and kill some off. Well, alot of them actually. Don't get too attached, Muhahaha!!!! The vamps are villainous and creepy and you will dig them like a gravedigger loves dirt.
The story is rock solid, like a gravestone, and flies by faster than you realize, kind of how night sneaks up on you and before you know it you're out in the woods alone. Or maybe not so alone as you wish. That's the vibe this book gives off. If you are into horror, vampires, and actual struggles of real people to make it to the next day you will loved this book.
