A Mighty Rolling Thunder eBook Kerry Alan Denney Nicolle Brown Edd Sowder
Kerry Alan Denney’s A Mighty Rolling Thunder came to me with high recommendations. I enjoy a good apocalypse novel and was pleasantly surprised when this one was that and so much more. After the Rapture in the year 2024 when half of the world populations is mysteriously removed, Denney fills his apocalypse with supernatural beings that inhabit the remaining human and turn them toward good or evil and the age old war is played out in the microcosm of Livi DaSilva’s world. Livi is one of the good guys, as is her dog, Beauty, and together they join forces with others who have taken in the “good” spirits to fight against the shadow forces at work in those taken by the dark forces.One of the many things about Denney’s writing that I enjoy is his ability to create a visual scene. It takes real skill to make a person see the complex visions Denney paints for us. He does it masterfully. There are moments of intense, uncomfortable, vulgarity and then moments of riveting beauty. Denney transitions seamlessly between them.
There is nothing simple about this book and it made me consider larger questions about our responsibility in the world. What is our responsibility to mankind? What is our responsibility to our dogs? Speaking of the dogs, what are they trying to tell us and why aren’t we listening? The dogs have been show stealers in both of the Denney books I have read. I give him five stars because I’ll read it again, and there are very few books I will read again.

My Five star review for A Mighty Rolling Thunder
Written by Kerry Alan Denney
This Horror novel was my first read by Kerry and I’m glad I came to learn of this author’s talent for writing horror with this story mainly because I was surprised by the level of fear I felt while reading. The story starts off with a cataclysmic event that basically leaves some humans unchanged while changing others to a baser level of kill for pleasure without regard for human life. This world for each person changes on many levels leaving the reader surprised, horrified, inspired and genuinely scared because the writer reintroduces us to the many aspects of what we fear and what we believe about our positions in life. I believe writer makes the reader realize how weak civilization is and uses that realization to make the reader imagine fear for how civilization really can be changed for the worse with just a small nudge. The description that helped me envision what I was reading, whether its taste, smell, sound or any other senses is what really helped me enjoy such a scary tale. The character perspective changes are flawless and helped each scene play out smoothly. The characters themselves is what made this story completely new, independent and fresh. I can’t say more about about the characters due to spoilers. The editing was top notch leaving a flowing story from chapter to chapter that built up into a novel worth reading again and again…during the day. Numerous times I was reminded of Dean R.Koontz and his horror filled mysteries while reading A Mighty Rolling Thunder and Koontz has been a mainstay in horror for me lasting over twenty years. I was deeply unsettled, left in a cold sweat and fearful around neighbors and strangers alike…that’s the sign of great horror telling. I look forward to reading more work from Mr. Denney and most especially ‘Jagannath”.
Couldn’t seem to put this book down! From page one all the way to the conclusion, there was always a compelling reason to flip just one more page. This was a fast-paced, thrilling, read written in the same style and form as Dean Koontz (at the top of his game). This is the first book I have read by Kerry Alan Denny, but it will definitely not be the last!
Review of “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” by Kerry Alan Denney.
This being my first time reading Denney, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. I wasn’t disappointed though with what I found within the pages of the book. If you want a short description of “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” I would say that it’s like Stephen King’s “The Stand” if King was more brutal in his writing.
The premise of the two stories are basically the same. An apocalyptic event happens, good guys and bad guys are defined, and a battle between good and evil occurs. They differ, however, when you actually sit down and read the two. They both have their similarities and differences and one of the differences in Denney’s novel is the fact that it’s shorter than King’s novel.
According to ’s stats, “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” weighs in at 313 pages while “The Stand” sits as the behemoth between the two at 1,348 pages. Being a Stephen King fanatic, if I were forced to pick one to read again it would have to be “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” hands down. The size of the book does not factor into the choice either.
Denney crafts a world similar to our own, but immediately throws that world into disarray when forces both good and evil invade it. Denney is a master when it comes to descriptive writing. The following is an example of such writing “The universe was trying to regurgitate its cosmic bile, with Earth as its toxic waste dump.”
The characters in the novel are so well written that you’d almost expect them to spring forth from the pages. It’s a good thing that they don’t however, because I would cringe to see Victor van Danz in real life.
The first character the reader is introduced to is Livi DeSilva. Immediately, the reader sympathizes with her because she is suffering from a douchebag of a boyfriend. As the world around her collapses into darkness, she is infused with what Denney calls “twinkle-people” and “sparkle-angels.”
On the other side of the spectrum, readers are introduced to the antagonist of the story Victor van Danz who is infused with “shadow-mans” who are also known as “night-people.” Before the reader meets van Danz, Denney has Livi and the other protagonists encounter several people that are filled with “shadow-mans” and find that those people are insane, murderous, or a combination of the two. The frightening thing about van Danz is that he is in complete control of his newly granted power.
Another character the reader encounters is Conor McLain, a man that’s literally waging a war inside of himself. Infused with both “sparkle-angels” and “shadow-mans” Conor questions what type of person he is. He is a perfect counterweight to Livi’s “good” and Victor’s “bad” natures.
The most interesting and unique aspect of “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” is the relationships between man and man’s best friend. I won’t spoil the surprise in this review so if you want to know all about it, then I suggest you read the book.
As far as what I disliked about the book, I can’t say that I have any complaints. The story was well written, the characters were fleshed out and the reader cared about them as well as disliked them (in terms of the antagonist), and nothing really pulled the reader out of the narrative. The ending was somewhat predictable, but there were times along the way where I thought that my predictions were going to be proved false. There have only been a handful of novels that I would rate a 5 out of 5 stars and “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” is one of them.
If “A Mighty Rolling Thunder” is the measure of Denney’s writing then I will be looking for his past novels as well as his future ones.
