Story
This book won a World Fantasy Award. It's remarkable: The stories are rich, fascinating stuff - creepy and unsettling and phantasmic. Imagine what Tolkien's Lord of the Rings would have been like if Tolkien had tried to tell that story sympathetically from the point of view of the human denizens of Mordor and you'll have the slightest sense of what you're about to wade into... but only just a sense.

Story
Midnight. Some call it the witching hour. Others call it the devil’s hour. Here in the graveyard, midnight is a very special time. It is a time when ghostly spirits are at their strongest, when the veil between our world and theirs is at its thinnest. Legend has it, that while most of the world is asleep, the lack of prayers allow the spirits to communicate under the cover of darkness, among the headstones, their whispers rustling in the leaves of the old oak trees. But if you’re here in the graveyard, you can tell yourself it’s just the wind....

Story
It was a legend in Fear County. A hideous, flesh-eating creature - part snake, part earthbound demon - that feasted on the blood of innocent children in the cold black heart of the Tennessee backwoods. But 10-year-old Jeb Sweeny knows the horrible stories are true. His best friend Mandy just disappeared. He also knows that no one has ever had the courage to go after the monster and put an end to its raging, bestial hunger. Until now.

Story
From out of a shadowy backwoods hollow echoes a dark threat from the past, nearly a century lost and forgotten. The rural town of Harmony, Tennessee, possessed a disturbing secret; a secret so ancient that most of its residents were completely unaware of it. Even the last survivors of a vigilante raid long ago have filed the tragic events of that autumn night away, totally unaware of the evil that remains, dormant, but forever patient, among the tall pines and thick-leaved kudzu of a place known only as Hell Hollow.

Story
Webster's Dictionary defines the word "appetite" as: a) any of the instinctive desires necessary to keep up organic life; specifically: the desire to eat, or b) an inherent craving; an insatiable appetite for nourishment. Of course, there are other terms for appetite as well. Craving, coveting, hunger, lust, gluttony, ravenousness, want, yearning, and passion, just to name a few. South of the Mason-Dixon Line, we call it a "hankering". When thinking of appetite, two supernatural beings come instantly to the minds of horror fiction readers: vampires and werewolves.

Publisher's Summary
Chaos reigns supreme. Social and economic upheaval, rampant terrorism, and nuclear annihilation have turned the earth into a vast wasteland. And, in Texas, the gates of Hell have been cracked open, unleashing its evil and fury upon the undeserving. The inhabitants of Ruin Town find themselves unwilling pawns, trapped between warring forces, desperately attempting to survive. Even when the bombing and gunfire cease, they can find no refuge, no relief, for afterwards, Satan himself descends mercilessly upon them… in the form of General Payne and his band of sadistic mercenaries. It is then that the suffering truly begins.
Murder, rape, racial intolerance, mutilation… all are heaped upon those who dwell in Ruin Town, if only to feed the General’s insatiable lust for power and sadistic pleasure. Afterward, the broken and dying seek out the only one who can deliver them from the horror that their world has become. The one who can miraculously meld flesh to flesh, and bone to bone. He is the healer supreme, the medico grande… the Flesh-Welder.

Short but sweet, Great fun and interesting premise
What did you love best about Flesh Welder?
It did in a shirt story what a lot of books fail to do in a full length, It developed a tragic and scary world that was wholly believable. Would love to see the story continue beyond this short. Could easily be a series about the Dr.
What did you like best about this story?
the wealth of detail in such a brief story.
What about Wayne June’s performance did you like?
i enjoyed the voices and the depth he brought to the characters.

Well executed short perfect for the commute
I've had this short on my wish list for a couple of years. It looked intriguing, but I put it off. After listening to it I bought the other two Ronald Kelly compilations of short stories offered.
I bought these straight up, didn't use a credit, and I think that is what had me hold them in my wish list for so long. It's hard to burn a credit on a 5 buck book... Well worth the cash. I was able to listen to this short on the way into work and finished it just about the time I parked the car, though I sat for a few minutes to finish it.
At the end of the book I wanted to know more about the Doctor, his side kick nurse, and the little boy with the wagon full of people parts which is why I give it only 4 stars for story. I think it could have been a bit longer... yeah I know it was a short story, I just wanted more.
Good Stuff Mr. Kelly!

A brilliant short story.
What H.P. Lovecraft was able to do with the theme of indescribable horrors, Ronald Kelly is able to do with the notion of humanity being it's own worst enemy. The Flesh Welder is a brilliant short story that outlines exactly how the dystopian future tale should be written in an age where we've seen the world be blown to bits by nuclear armaments a million times over. His amazing use of language is an alluring journey in itself. Kelly is able to convey in a single sentence or two what many authors take whole novels just to broach the surface of when it comes to emotion, style, and descriptive imagery. This is accentuated by Wayne June's amazing voice and awesome reading style. I truly enjoyed this, and I emphatically hope more of his works (with narration from Mr.June) is put up on Audible. (=

Imaginative, and priced well.
I enjoyed the Flesh Welder. It was very rough in parts, and could have used polish--particularly in the dialogue which sounds stilted and sometimes amateurish.
The post-apocalyptic world that Kelly creates is an intriguing one. Society lies in shambles as soldiers continue to fight even when there are no hostilities. Carnage becomes cheap when the Flesh Welder can fix all but the most mortal wounds.
The characters are not particularly well-drawn out. The good are good and the bad are despicably evil.
Still, the price of this story is less than many magazines, and entertained me for forty minutes or so.
