Dark Harvest

A quick, fun read that’s not too graphic and not too over the top.

I don’t want to give anything away but some twists took me by surprise and I found the ending to be satisfying.

However, the author did this weird thing where he would describe a person in the third person but turn shift to second person as if you the reader were them. That took me a minute to get used to.

I’d recommend to anyone that would like a modernized Halloween tale in the vein of Sleepy Hollow.

I don’t get the hype. This was honestly boring which is surprising given the premise. The characters are super flat, there isn’t enough story explaining the background and context of the “dark harvest” and honestly it was a little to ‘dude horror’ for my taste. Glad this at least satisfied a prompt for a reading challenge.

I liked this story a lot. It was extremely well written, and even though it left me with a lot of questions at the end, I felt it had a satisfying conclusion. Perfect for setting the (now long past) Halloween mood!
