"If you're a fan of Jack Ketchum, Richard Laymon, or movies likeTHE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACREandDELIVERANCE, don't missKIN.  Burke's novel not only re-imagines the classic slasher tropes, but it invents new ones. This is a modern classic, and I cannot recommend it highly enough." -FEARNET"If you took the moral quandaries about revenge, justice and violence against evil fromDennis Lehane's Patrick Kenzie novels, spread it over the sprawling cast of aStephen King thriller, and mixed it with theSouthern Gothic grotesques of Eudora Welty, you might end up with something like Burke's new novel,KIN." -LITSTACK"From the first chapter I found myself comparingKINto the absolute best work ofJack KetchumandRichard Laymon.KINis not only the best novel I've read all year, it is one of the most horrifying ones I've ever read." -HORROR WORLD"It's odd that an Irish transplant to the Northern US has writtenone 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." -DARK DISCOVERIES"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
