This was a great book that kept me glued to the last page. I really enjoyed the travels of the young "hero", on his way through "Fear" county. I thought this book was great and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good horror story.
I couldn't put it down!

This is one of the best books I've read in a while. I bought it and read the entire book in the same day. I stayed up the entire night so I could finish it. Very good book.
Very good book.

I've been a fan of Ronald Kelly every since I read his novel BLOOD KIN. Not only because he's a fellow Tennessean but because his work is just so damn fun. Kelly is a natural storyteller, with a nice southern flair, and he always delivers entertaining horror. FEAR is no exception and he really pulls out all the stops with this one. It's just after WWII in the small town of Pikesville, TN and young Jeb Sweeny finds himself on the edge of personal tragedy and a greater evil that is devouring livestock and abducting children in the night. It's up to him, his handicapped war veteran father, and an old blues player Roscoe Ledbetter to save the town and find some kind of salvation. And if the bloodthirsty creature roaming Pikesville wasn't enough, they face even greater horrors when they venture into Fear County to seek help from a local legend known as The Granny Woman. Not only is this book full of dark adventure, but it's got a lot of heart. You'll find yourself cheering Jeb Sweeny on until the very end. A fun read and a great book. The only question I had when I turned the last page was: when's your next novel, Mr. Kelly?
