Dark Harvest

Dark Harvest by Partridge, Norman. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781587671470.

A Midwestern town. You know its name. You were born there. Its Halloween night, 1963. Every boy between the ages of sixteen and nineteen has been locked up for the last five days. Now, starving and wild, theyre hitting the streets armed with baseball bats, pitchforks, and two-by-fours studded with nails. Theyre ready to go nose-to-nose with a legend. Hes the reaper that grows in a cornfield, the merciless trick with a heart made of treats, the butchering nightmare with a Jack O Lantern face. Hes the October Boy, and he visits your town every Halloween, ready to run a gauntlet of young men anxious to carve his beating candy heart from his chest. Mitch Crenshaw and his gang burn rubber in a street rod with Gorgon headlights.... Pete McCormicks on the move with a stolen .45... and a hunted girl is out there, too, making her break on the one night of the year when no rules apply. Youre running with them, threading your own path through danger and moonlight, shadowing a sadistic cop and packs of brutal teenagers wholl attack anyone who gets in their way. Because this is your town. You understand its secrets, and you want a ringside seat on the night it all comes tumbling down. Norman Partridge returns to Cemetery Dance with a high-octane tale of fantastic suspense. Startlingly original in style and execution, Dark Harvest is sure to be the horror event this Halloween season. Dont miss it!
