About this listen
In the secluded village of Reeth, the Hawthorn family has found their new home, a place shrouded in mystery and dark secrets. The recent murder that took place there has left the house within their budget, but is there a higher price they still have to pay?
On the first night in their new home, Gerald Hawthorn unwittingly releases a Haglard, a sinister creature from local folklore with malevolent intentions. This insidious creature has the power to mimic voices and sounds, tormenting its victims to breaking point before going in for the kill.
With trickery and paranoia turning the Hawthorns against each other, they must uncover the truth before it's too late.
Mockingbird is a modern fairy tale horror from the macabre mind of Steve McElhenny.
Hush little baby don't say a word!

Story
Thirty years ago, the town of Peace Falls was flooded to build a hydroelectric dam. To this day, its ruins remain below the surface of Chapel Lake—including the church, miraculously undamaged after all these years, its steeple visible above the water. When his younger sister's body is found washed up on the shore, Owen Saddler follows in her footsteps to the cabin she'd rented on Chapel Lake, diving among the ruins below the surface.

This infamous duo carved out their place in American history stealing horses and cattle, and ingeniously robbing numerous banks, stagecoaches, and trains.

What is the mysterious Emporium? Who or what is Big Al? Friend or Foe? Demon? Alien? or Mystical Shaman? To answer those questions, you’ll have to visit the store, if you can find it. Somewhere, nowhere, and everywhere all at once it appears at the oddest times and strangest places. The neon shines brightly, like a beacon to a troubled mind. The Emporium looks deceptively small from the outside, but once you enter, it is a place beyond reality.

Story
In a place and time unknown, two elderly sisters live in a walled garden, secluded from the outside world. Evelyn and Lily have only ever known each other. What was before the garden, they have forgotten; what lies beyond it, they do not know. Each day is spent in languid service to their home: tending the bees, planting the crops, and dutifully following the instructions of the almanac written by their mother. So when a nameless boy is found hiding in the boarded house at the center of their isolated grounds, their once solitary lives are irrevocably disrupted.

Unique and talented
McElhenney has a unique style; his humor shines through even when he's writing horror. Always entertaining, and always with an optimistic view of humanity - even as he parodies our foibles.
Alan Aldersley-Byrne is a talented reader. He conveys the mood of the piece well, keeps all the character voices distinguishable, and has taught me a few things about UK accents. I would love to workshop with this guy.

Human vs. Hobgoblin
The story may start off slow but when it picks up it really picks up. I won't give away any spoilers but I will say this you won't be disappointed. The narrator could have been a little better but he did not distract from the story. The book is unique and entertaining and will keep you guessing and trust me you won't see it coming. This is my honest and unbiased review here that I leave of my own volition.

A Perfect Horror Dessert! I LOVED it!
Apple Blossom Cottage, a deal too good to pass up! When Gerald’s university chum offered it deeply discounted, he bought it … sight unseen … save for the brochure pictures. So what if the charming cottage had been the site of a horrific act … Oh Gerald, and you thought this property was the solution to your problems … “Mockingbird” … horror with sass, humor, biting wit and twist that had me grinning from ear to ear! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you can’t go wrong with Steve Mcelhenny! This brilliantly narrated story immediately grabbed me, held me throughout … and then gob smacked me with an unexpected and brilliant twist that left me completely stunned and sooo satisfied! Of course, my lips are sealed, telling would be spoiling and I’m not going there! The characters are unique, well varied, beautifully detailed and ring authenticity human! I love how their “true selves” are revealed over the course of the story! I also loved the pacing of the story with the timing so clearly delineated! I absolutely LOVED how the story drew me in, deeper and deeper as it built to a crescendo. I lost sleep ~ I had to KNOW … and then wham! I can’t give details without giving it all away! Just know this isn’t your typical “haunted house” horror story ~ it’s so much more! Also, the narration is stellar! The scenes, characters, and action are brought to life via dynamic vocal intonation that not only brings out the emotion and the snark I love so much, but sets the mood perfectly! I stayed “in the moment”, as one with these unique characters ~ this fabulous story throughout! That ending though was the icing on my perfect horror dessert! I LOVED it! In truth, I loved everything about “Mockingbird”! I five fabulous star LOVED it!
