Meticulous attention to setting, characters who inspire sympathy and dark attraction, and a unique take on the vampire tradition make Kevin Ranson's novel a must-read addition to the genre.

Glenville Normal School - 1919
Sarah Louisa "Sis" Linn, class of 1877, is brutally murdered in her home on the school's campus. No motive or murderer is found.

Glenville State College - 2013
Nearly 100 years have passed since Sis Linn's unsolved murder. The school's name has changed, and the story of her death and tales of her apparition have become fodder for frightening incoming freshmen. But a century is merely a moment for a spirit - and less than a blink of an eye for even more sinister entities that endure beyond the grave. Student Janiss Connelly will soon learn that not only are some ghost stories true, but that there are greater things to fear in life - and in death - than ghosts.

Kevin Ranson takes Janiss and you on a terrifying journey from the past to the present - and from this side of the grave to the next - to uncover not only the truth behind a century-old murder, but behind the centuries-old legends of the vampire.

Ranson

Kevin Ranson continues to lay a reasonable claim to the title "Media Renaissance Man," as an author, creator of and critic for MovieCrypt.com, and as the "ghost writer" for horror host Grim D. Reaper. Kevin started early: writing in grade school, and making and selling his own comic books. He kept writing through junior high, high school and college until joining the Navy, where he spent years filling up notebooks with story ideas while touring the Mediterranean. Kevin created MovieCrypt.com in the late 1990s and became a member of the Online Film Critics Society shortly thereafter. After honing his narrative voice on film critique, Kevin published the first book in his The Spooky Chronicles series in 2011. The Matriarch is his first Words Take Flight Books release.
