Publisher's summary

Alive, yet dead….

The bloody War Between the States and a harrowing confinement in an enemy prison camp had turned Joshua Wingade into a broken man. His nerves and spirit shattered by the barbarity of battle, and demoralized by a cause that his heart secretly despised, Wingade returns home in hope of finding peace and healing.

But, upon his arrival, he discovers that Hell had come to call. His beloved wife had been violated and transformed into a horrid bride of the undead, and his only son abducted by a band of diabolical outlaws led by the renegade vampire, Jules Holland. Along for the ride are three demonic henchmen from the fetid bowels of Hades and the dark witch, Evangeline.

Aware that he is no match for the gang, Wingade rides across Georgia and Tennessee nonetheless, intent on rescuing his child from imminent disaster. During his journey, he witnesses the horrors and atrocities Holland and his evil confederates have wrought. Eventually, he finds himself at the outlaws’ mercy. An instant before death, he makes a final pledge to his stolen son.

“I promise, Daniel! I will come for you!”

Dead, yet alive.…

He awakens to discover that the cold finality of the grave has been thwarted. With the help of the Louisiana mojo man, Job, he has been resurrected. But, the frail and fearful man named Joshua Wingade is forever gone. In his place is the stoic, steel-nerved Dead-Eye with his blind eye aglow and a gun hand as swift and deadly as greased lightning.

Together, they vow to pursue the vampire and his minions, and deliver young Daniel from his bondage. However, they know that time is their worst enemy. If Holland and the others make it across the Mississippi River to the Western territories beyond, their vengeance may never come to fruition. For they are entering a new purgatory known as the Devil’s Playground…a vast wilderness rife with violence and terrors unleashed from the Hole Out of Nowhere.

A place where death and evil are dealt freely, without atonement to anyone…including God himself!

Title Says It All

Vampires, Zombies & Mojo Men in an old west setting, written by Ronald Kelly, what more do you need to know? Well one thing you need to know is that while I had already read the book and really enjoyed it, the selection of J Rodney Turner as the narrator took this book to the next level. Talk about a series and a narrator being the perfect match! I am excited to listen to Book 2 of this series as well as all the future books that are yet to be published.

Fantastic tale 👏

This story, which was narrated brilliantly, caught my attention from beginning to end. Of course now, I'm looking forward to book 2 after this one ended with a cliffhanger.
Ronald Kelly never fails to give his readers a great story that will leave you coming back for more! He is now on the top of my list of favorite authors of horror.
I highly recommend this one! I enjoyed the audiobook so much that I purchased the book.
