Publisher's Summary

A graveyard feast beneath the summer moon....

The rural town of Old Hickory. Tennessee was a quiet, picturesque community...until the O'Sheas came to town.

Becoming the new proprietors of the town's only funeral parlor, with the help of their charming patriarch, Square McManus, the Irish family was wholeheartedly accepted by the local town folk. The thing began to happen. Strange things...horrible, unspeakable things...in the dead of night.

The sighting of wolfish beasts congregating around an open grave in the town cemetery. Frightening changes in several of Old Hickory's less desirable residents. And the brutal murder and devourment of a varsity football player in the wooded wilderness outside of town. Soon, what was once concealed in shadow and secrecy was now starkly revealed, in all its ravenous fury, by the silvery light of the full moon.

As the residents of Old Hickory, as well as the local police, begin to fall victim to an unknown evil, four individuals - the town nerd, a high school jock, a widowed gunsith, and a mysterious transient from a distant shore - find themselves facing what could possibly be a hellish lycanthrope from ancient Ireland...the legendary Arget Bethir...the Silver Beast.

very good listen

it wraps up very simply and somewhat quickly but it doesn't leave loose ends that would frustrate those who like the full vision.

good story but

a good horror story but it was like having eeyore from winnie the pooh read you to sleep, very boring voice

excellent book

excellent writing with edge of your seat suspense and a great conclusion. looking forward to more

good stuff!!

awesome story...I'm sad it had to end. scary and very well written and spoken....I want it to keep going

thanks a lot

to whoever said it was like listening to Eeyore..Now that's all I can think of while I listen...totally ruined 🤣

wow

i wasnt expecting this. This was a great book that i totally enjoyed. The narration was spot on and the story was awesome. There were some predictable parts, all in all exceptional.

Great story of horror.

An excellent story of gore and terror. My only gripe is the narrator's difficulty with an Irish accent.

Loved it!

Great story, love werewolves and the Narrator was Awesome! I liked all the characters and details of who they were. Two thumbs up!!

Seriously Disappointed

I didn't realize I'd need to start researching authors before I purchased a book. The amount of racism I've heard in some of the past horror books I've purchased recently is ridiculous and this book is no exception. The concept was interesting, but it was completely ruined for me with the unacceptable racism. And please explain to me why the only notable person of color has to speak in a post-slavery era dialect??? I understand and accept the fact that the author has a right to express himself through his writing (and may not even be racist),but I can't commit to a book that paints people of color and women in such an undignified way.

Different but great

Just the tale I was looking to find,. Kelly's take on the legend was unexpected but much appriceated. I truly enjoyed it.

Undertakers moon

I bought this book on a whim. So glad I did. one of the best books I've purchased. A great story, keeps you enthralled and curious all the way through. loved the narrator.J Rodney Turner and the gravel in his voice he keeps the story rolling along..this is well worth a credit..I'll be looking out from more books from the author and the narrator!!

Undertaker’s Moon Review

Loved this book. You can really believe it happened. Great voice. Charming yet strong. Good follow up at the end.

Excellent Southern Werewolf Novel

I've only recently discovered the wonderful books of Ronald Kelly. He really is a fantastic writer with stories full of great characters and atmosphere.
Undertaker's Moon is a top tier werewolf tale that is compelling throughout.
J. Rodney Turner's narration is ideal for this type of southern-fried tale. He sounds just like a cowboy, and I think he's the ideal narrator for Kelly's work. It was a pleasure to listen to.
Another brilliant audiobook from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.
