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
In a dingy Manhattan bar, where misery is served on tap, a stranger arrives with a pair of mysterious antique headphones. For most who try them on, they unlock a world of wonder; for our protagonist, they unleash a world of horror. Upon wearing these headphones, they become fused with his flesh, unable to be removed. The voices of malevolent beings known only as, the Others, begin speaking to him through these headphones - their taunts and intentions getting more sinister with each passing moment.

Nice creepy read
Narrator performance was very good. The story was creepy, the ending a bit of a letdown, but still a nice solid read throughout.

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!
