ephem3ra 's review for:
Dark Harvest
by Norman Partridge
The story of October Boy, born each Halloween in the cornfield at the edge of town, and the game of predator and prey that's played with the town's children (exclusively male) felt like the essence of Halloween distilled into 169 pages of lyrical prose.
The book begins in a way that feels as though you're floating throughout the town, stopping in on various characters as the night begins, then seamlessly moving out the door and down side streets, on to the next character. In that way, it felt like like one of my favorite horror anthologies, Trick 'r' Treat.
You could see the ending of this book coming from at least 40-50% in, but that doesn't matter, because getting there is still just as enjoyable. I may have to make this a yearly Halloween tradition.
