In this story we follow Beck and Cal, brother and sister. They're on their way to California to live with some relatives for a short time. On the way, driving with the windows down, they hear a young boy calling for help inside a field of tall grass. They go in the help and shit hits the fan.
Now I grew up in a place where we went into cornfields and whatnot, and this story reminded me so much of the claustrophobia you experience when you're deep in a corn field. And in true Stephen King, Joe Hill fashion, shit gets crazy and fairly disturbing.
But it's also short, so the character studies you normally get from King aren't present, which makes the book a bit less enjoyable to me.
