Mr. Harlan's Birds

Mr. Harlan was a familiar sight around town.

A towering man with odd habits, strange conversations, and a habit of buying birdseed for birds no one else could see.

People didn't understand him.

But they got used to him.

The cashier smiled.

The mailman nodded.

The town learned to work around him the way a river works around a large stone.

Then his mother disappeared.

At least, everyone else thought she did.

Mr. Harlan insisted she was still home.

For a while, people accepted the answer.

Then something changed.

Atmospheric, emotional, and quietly disturbing, MR. HARLAN'S BIRDS is a literary psychological horror story about grief, isolation, and the frightening space where reality and loneliness begin to overlap.

For readers who enjoy character-driven horror, unsettling mysteries, and stories where the deepest wounds are human ones.
