About this listen
You can run. You can try to hide. But no matter where you are, the scarecrow will find you.
After a heart-wrenching breakup, the last thing high school sophomore Kyle Shoemaker expected was to fight for his life. But that’s exactly what happens after a drunken trip takes he and his friends to the abandoned farm at the edge of town. Nightly, the scarecrow claims one of them, leaving him with little time. Will he unravel the mystery of the scarecrow before it's too late? Or will its secrets remain buried beneath the dirt and wreckage at the old farm?

Stay Away - An amazingly original horror novel from Ike Hamill Every small town has secrets. Some secrets can kill. He’s always been there, the old gentleman in the funeral suit, hanging around the big oak tree. Even before the cemetery was dug, the natives knew about him. He was just as much a part of the landscape as the rocks or the river. If you ever needed anything, especially if it was a matter of life and death, you could find him and make a trade. He always trades fair. Everybody says so. Eric is about to trade without even realizing it. He isn’t tricked. It’s only a mistake. ...

One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until is starts killing. Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He'll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll kill as many people as he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes - sometimes you have to become a monster first.

After years of questioning her sanity, Kat Delancey reluctantly returns to the old family manor as its legal owner, hoping desperately to silence the doubts in her mind and leave the home's tragic past behind her once and for all. But it turns out to be harder than she expected, and not just because of the estranged step-family waiting for her - because maybe Kat's mind was never playing tricks on her after all, and maybe the manor harbors a far more malevolent presence than she ever dreamed...

The time: the waning years of the 1990s at the dawn of the millennium. The place: an isolated rural town called Auburn, which could be anywhere at all - a town where everyone knows everyone else - where dark secrets run through its veins like blood. Everyone knows that 16-year old Mikey Childress is "different." A target for bullies since he was a small boy, everything Mikey does attracts abuse: the way he walks, the way he talks, the way he looks. Everyone knows he's not like the other boys in Auburn - the boys who play hockey, who fight, the boys who pursue girls.

The Scarecrow
I do not care for virtual voice however I don't let it stop me from choosing books to listen to. "The Scarecrow" had lots of the slasher type murders which were done well. I did have some issues following the some of the characters and how they transitioned into the story. The virtual voice did not help and some of the more dramatic scenes came off very flat unfortunately. It still is worth a listen if you enjoy murdering scarecrows.

Voice is rough
I know it’s AI generated but if you’re going to do this you might as well put in the time and edit it to be good. They can make an AI generated voice of pretty much anyone that has a normal speaking cadence, doesn’t glitch on words, and that can give inflection. The slang and curse words that are what the voice has a hard time with in this book.

More of a Goosebumps story
Not at all scary! Where were all the parents?? Why didn’t these kids see help from adults??
SPOILER ALERT: if Gary wasn’t a bad person to begin with, why kill the kids? Also if he was after descendants of original killers, why not go after the parents?
This was written seemingly more for young adults - like Goosebumps. There wasn’t much in the way of gore as advertised (actually thankful for this). As an avid horror reader/listener, I ax expecting much more. Totally missed the mark.

Just not that interesting
Artificial voice is too monotone. Pronounces words badly, and often rushed from one sentence to the next. Kills the whole vibe of the story. Story just didn't grab my attention well either. Very simplistic word choices, written like a horror movie script more than a novel. A lot of scenes seemed like we were listening to a description from the Jeepers Creepers films. Some weird word choices/phrases used. Premise isn't executed well, is confusing and doesn't make much sense
