Hell Hollow
"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. There it would have remained, unrevealed, if not for a handful of unknowing participants. Four kids, bored for excitement during one of the hottest summers on record. A killer on the run, dodging his latest atrocity. And a rape victim on a deadly mission - scarred in both body and mind. All have a hand in bringing forth an unspeakable evil from the dark woods of Hell Hollow."--Publisher's description

As a southerner and a horror fiend, I really liked this. The characters and setting had me feeling right at home and the villain was fun and unique even if his motivations weren't especially interesting. Really, the only thing holding this one back for me was that it alternated between two plot threads and the B plot was undercooked in a way that made me question its inclusion altogether. That's a pretty minor gripe, though; most of this book entertained the hell out of me.
I'm gonna have to give Ronald Kelly's work a more thorough look sometime soon!
