Wishbone

...Becareful What You Wish For

By: Brooklyn Hudson

Narrated by: Jean Brassard

At the age of nine Julien Grenier witnessed the brutal murder of his grandfather. Now, at forty-five, he continues to be plagued by horrific nightmares of that tragic event. Julien has recreated himself, building emotional walls that even his young wife cannot penetrate. Though somewhat moody, Julien is a good man with a heart of gold, enabling his wife, Rachael, to turn a blind eye to his tightly-kept secrets.

But after a home invasion assault leaves Rachael emotionally unstable and destroys their care-free and content world, they relocate to a safer environment with the hope of a fresh start. At first, their new home in the beautiful and serene Catskill Mountains appears to be the miracle they prayed for, until a traditional children's game begins to destroy their bliss. Can Julien and Rachael escape the nightmare of Kings Hollow - or is this just wishful thinking?

Critic reviews

" Wishbone is a multi-layered suspense-thriller incorporating several sub-plots; in the vein of The Sixth Sense, Shutter Island, and The Butterfly Effect. Mature, mind-bending horror at its best, Brooklyn Hudson takes you on a roller coaster of emotional turmoil and shocking events." (JJ Kohler)

Excellent.
