Praise for KIN

“If you’re a fan of Jack Ketchum, Richard Laymon, or movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Deliverance, don’t miss Kin. Burke’s novel not only re-imagines the classic slasher tropes, but it invents new ones. Kin is sure to garner Burke a wider readership, awards, and to inspire a slew of new slasher novels and films. This is a modern classic, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

FEARNET

“It’s odd that an Irish transplant to the Northern US has written one of the best Southern Gothic novels in recent memory. I’ll look forward to Burke’s next work just as much as I hated to see this one end. I would highly recommend Kin to lovers of old fashioned horror fiction with a twist.”

—DARK DISCOVERIES

“…with this novel, Burke has fully arrived as a novelist…his talent running full throttle… Kin ends a long period of silence from Burke, and has me quite excited to see what’s coming next. It gets my highest possible recommendation.”

OCTOBER COUNTRY

“THIS is serious horror fiction that has set a high standard for future stories in this subgenre. Don’t miss it.”

THE CROW’S CAW

“The blurb will tell you that this is in the vein of the ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ and ‘Deliverance’ and, while I can see what they mean, it doesn’t do the book justice. This is not a ‘slasher’ book or a book that reads like a movie. This is far more. This is a novel that begins where the other stories ended and explores the impact such horror has on the survivors, their family and, though we may not like them, the perpetrators of the horror.”

THE BIG THRILL

“Kin is not only the best novel I’ve read all year, it is one of the most horrifying ones I’ve ever read.”

HORROR WORLD

“If you took the moral quandaries about revenge, justice and violence against evil from Dennis Lehane’s Patrick Kenzie novels, spread it over the sprawling cast of a Stephen King thriller, and mixed it with the Southern Gothic grotesques of Eudora Welty, you might end up with something like Kealan Patrick Burke’s new novel, Kin.”
