About this listen
Our last autumn of innocence. Star-spangled nights. Mist-wreathed woodland. A twisted shape watching coldly from the shadows.
Industrial Lancashire, 1974. The kids in the coal-mining town of Ashburn love the waning of the year. Fancy dress and scary stories for Halloween. Fireworks and treacle toffee on Guy Fawkes Night. And a month after that, snow and the approach of Christmas. But, this particular autumn will be memorable for entirely different reasons. Because, this year, someone is killing the children of Ashburn. Or should that be something?
While police and parents search for a maniac, Stephen Carter and his schoolmates know better. They may be on the cusp of adulthood, but there’s still enough of the youngster left in each of them to recognize the work of an evil supernatural being unique to these deserts of slag heap and coal tips.
A coming of age story from the dark imagination of Sunday Times best-selling crime and horror writer Paul Finch. A must for all fans of It, Stranger Things, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
"A born storyteller." (Peter James, author)

Season of Mist
This was an enjoyable short read, perfect for Halloween. Part coming of age, part horror, part psychological thriller, and all fun to read.
The story follows a group of young teenage boys in England in 1974. The author does a great job with creating the atmosphere of those times, pointing out the differences in this time period and today's modern society. Told from the perspective of one of the boys, the gang has fun with building tree houses, getting into minor scrapes, and just being kids. All of that changes when the body of a boy their age is found murdered in a horrific way. His badly beaten body brings to mind an old horror tale about a man who died while working in the local coal mine.
But, is the murderer really this ghost from the past or someone more real? Which would be more frightening? By the ending, I had a pretty good idea of the truth, but it was still wonderfully written and greatly entertaining. The author has a great way with words and his descriptions made me feel like I was in the story.
The narrator did a great job. It took me a few minutes to be able to follow his accent, but once it caught on, his performance was great. I was given the chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.

A great scare!
When you’re young the fear of local folk tales and mythes are enough to keep you up at night especially if they were true? This is a really good book and that answers that question. If you like horror you’re going to love this book I did I thought it was great and having Greg Patmore read it can’t hurt. I love his voice especially in a horror. A great scare

Gripping Thriller
I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
This is a creepy and suspense filled novel set in the 70's, before technology took over the free time of our youth. Teens are disappearing and a shroud of supernatural myths surround the murders, leaving the town baffled and scared. Can the police nab the perpetrator, and calm the fear? That is the question that kept me listening until the shocking conclusion. With lots of teenage shenanigans and excellent narration, this book had the feel of a true crime novel rather than fiction. Fans of Stephen King's IT, or the more recent Stranger Things, will love this gripping thriller!

Exciting and Intriguing
I must say that I loved this book it was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. Greg Patmore's narration was absolutely perfect it sounded as if the story were a real memory. The characters are quirky and well developed. Myths, murder and a twist that truly gave me the creeps. I highly recommend this book if you like chills and thrills. I received this book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review here of my own volition.
