One of the more nuanced and tension filled novels of the modern era, Kealan Patrick Burke's Kin is only the more remarkable for the fact that it is not written by an author from the backwoods areas of the United States, but rather an Irishman who visited the U.S. to research this writing.Burke start...
A great read from an author whoose work I have enjoyed in the past. It's the story of Claire Lambert who escapes the horrors inflicted upon her at the hands of a backwoods clan whoose leader and father goes by the name of Papa-In-Gray.

Don't get me wrong, I still love horror, and this book had a couple of things in it that I didn't expect. The Merrill clan is seriously screwed up. The ringleader (Papa-in-Gray) brainwashed his kids ...

*****5 Purple People Eater Stars***** Hmmm….how do I start a review off when it deals with a family who capture, rape, torture and then eat only people. This is a religion and they are doing God’s work by riding the world of one’s who don’t follow in the true ways. Wow...is all I have to say abou...
What would have happened if John Steinbeck wrote The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? You'll find your answer within the pages of Kealan Patrick Burke's novel, Kin. Everything from the characters, to the locations, to the message hidden in the words on the page, sings with an operatic brilliance. If I wasn'...
I'm an unashamed comfort-reader. When I'm feeling tired and or stressed, I turn to a genre that I know can shock me, entertain me, and make me feel a little nauseous.
