Publisher's summary

Black Christmas

The citizens of Cedar Bluff, Tennessee, have never recovered from the Christmas Massacre of 1978 - that tragic day when Richard McFarland, armed with a shotgun, abandoned his wife and son and selected a local church as the stage for a bloody, murderous rampage.

McFarland paid for his crimes in the electric chair. Yet, not even death will stop him from finishing what he started.

Bloody Legacy

After 14 years, Sonny's father is back. He'd been away so long that Sonny hardly remembered him. But Richard McFarland remembered his only son. And now, he will teach him how to kill.

Sonny is about to become a deadly force that will be unleashed on the unsuspecting citizens of Cedar Bluff. For, when the time is right, he will return to the small, quiet town, bringing death and destruction on an even more terrifying Christmas Day!

This audiobook also includes the bonus short story "Killing Time".

Great novel- Horrible performance and editing

The writing was great, a very good story about that pulls you into itself. The narrator is just awful, being overly dramatic and unbelievable. Several mispronounced words and terms for firearms. The editing was even worse. They didn’t bother to edit the mistakes and decided to leave them in the audio. Also, a chapter was repeated at the end of the chapter and could not figure why.
Do yourself a favor and read the book instead of wasting your money on the audiobook.

Fantastic thriller!!!

This has to be at the top of my list of favorites by Ronald Kelly. What a tense, spine-chilling twist of a story! Every chapter was full of action, suspense, and believable characters. The narrator, Hayden Hunt did a spectacular job not only telling the story, but bringing every character to life with his magical voice. There were some sound defects and repetitive lines, but Hunt's spellbinding voice made up for it. I highly recommend this to all lovers of horror, suspense and damn good story telling. A great serial killer plot you won't be able to turn down. BRAVO! 👏

Horrible Narrator

I don't know who has it out for Ronald Kelly and this book on Audible but I don't appreciate it. I purchased this book a few months ago and it was breaking up through the story. I tried it again last week and there is a new narrator but there are so many mistakes with pronunciation it's aggravating. Hearing the narrator say Point 44 instead of 44 was annoying. It took away from the story.

Twelve Gauge Rampage!

Twelve Gauge" by Ronald Kelly starts when a down on his luck dad goes postal during Christmas morning service in a small country church. And that’s just the prologue!

Fourteen years later, the killings start again and begin to escalate. But the killer was just executed!?
Can the authorities figure it out in time to prevent another Twelve Guage Rampage?

This story really did grab me because, right at the get-go, the author wrote something that surprised and sorta shocked even me, and I’ve been reading Horror for 50 years! Something so horrendous that to my knowledge no one else has dared to even think it! But I don’t want to ruin your surprise so I’ll stop there.

Recommended!

Story’s great, audio is not

The audio sounds like it was recorded in a tin can while commuting through traffic. The quality changes back and forth from bad to worse to unintelligible to random noises. The story is great, love Ronald Kelly, but the audiobook version is worthless.
