The Last Scarecrow
ByPublisher Description
*** Watty's 2021 Winner for Horror ***
When the human race faces extinction, the scarecrows will rise.
Erin loved to build scarecrows. She made a dozen in all. Her Pa showed her how. But he's dead now. Everyone is dead. Well... almost.
The Many Years Storm flooded the world, swept Erin's brother out to sea, and turned her hilltop farm into a rapidly shrinking island. While hope remains, she must take her chances on the open ocean and find her brother. But Erin doesn't have the knowledge to build a raft and there's no one to ask except the last and most terrifying of all her scarecrows-Number Twelve!
Erin needs help. Scratch that. Erin needs a miracle.
'Return to Oz' meets 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' in Neil J Hart's award-winning adorably terrifying fantasy adventure where climate change has flooded the earth, destroyed humanity, and ushered in a grave new world!

“I had no idea what to expect when starting this but 'return to Oz meets nightmare on elm street' is a line used in its own bio and I whole heartedly agree.
Set in a post apocolypic world due to the rise in water levels because of climate change your set on a whimsical adventure in a new world of horrors. Erin survives the many years storm and now hopes to find her brother. Alone she turns to the last of her terrifying scarecrows she herself made.
Wild creatures, insane events and talking birds fill this story with a strange intrigue as you journey through the ever changing world and experience a wild variety of characters. All wrapped up with some heartbreaking conclusions.
Clever, unique, writing and I think it's worthy of your time. The it, I can't truly explain how stylistically unique it felt.”“Haunting, Heroic, Unforgettable — The Dystopia of Your Dreams (and Nightmares), Led by the Voice that Commands the Tempest.
In The Last Scarecrow — WATTY’S WINNER 2021 and the spellbinding first entry in Scarecrows of Coldharbour Farm — Neil J Hart drenches you in a post‑apocalyptic world swallowed by an endless, wrathful storm. Strange new species rise, familiar ones evolve into marvels or terrors, and the atmosphere crackles with eerie beauty. The prose is as rich and haunting as the tempest it conjures, while Samantha Norbury’s audiobook performance is nothing short of alchemy — each voice so vivid and distinct, you’ll forget it’s one narrator and not a full cast breathing life into these characters. Twelve, Raven, The Blue King… they don’t just inhabit the story; they stake a claim in your imagination.
Though this is only book one, the conclusion lands with such elegance it could stand alone — yet you’ll find yourself craving the sequel like rain after a drought. Cinematic, fast‑paced, and brimming with emotion, it’s a tale of found family, loyalty, resilience, and the stubborn spark to truly live. Perfect for teens, irresistible to adults — if you love dystopian fantasy, haunting world‑building, or simply an audiobook crafted with rare excellence, this is one you cannot miss.”
