Book description
Raising Stony Mayhall: A Zombie Story That Transcends Genre
Daryl Gregory's "Raising Stony Mayhall" transforms our understanding of zombie narratives through the lens of domestic intimacy and family bonds. This audiobook presents a story that begins with a chilling discovery in 1968: Wanda Mayhall finds herself holding a lifeless infant during a snowstorm, only to watch him revive in her arms.
What follows is Gregory's masterful exploration of how a family chooses to protect one of the undead. The Mayhall family's decision to conceal Stony rather than surrender him to authorities creates a compelling tension between societal expectations and personal compassion. The author skillfully develops this premise across decades, showing how Stony grows and adapts within his adoptive family's careful guardianship.
The audiobook format particularly serves Gregory's narrative strengths. His background in multiple storytelling mediums-including interactive fiction and comics-translates into a voice that moves seamlessly between intimate family moments and broader supernatural elements. The pacing allows listeners to fully absorb the emotional weight of Stony's unique existence.
Gregory's award-winning track record with works like "Spoonbenders" and "We Are All Completely Fine" demonstrates his ability to blend genre elements with genuine human storytelling. Here, he applies that same approach to zombie fiction, creating something that feels both fresh and inevitable. The revelation that Stony isn't alone in his condition adds layers of complexity that elevate the narrative beyond typical horror conventions.
This audiobook succeeds because it treats its supernatural premise with serious emotional consideration. Gregory understands that the most compelling genre fiction uses extraordinary circumstances to examine ordinary human experiences-love, protection, identity, and belonging. Stony's journey becomes a meditation on what it means to be accepted and to accept oneself, even when that self defies scientific explanation.
