Dark Harvest
by Norman Partridge
Honestly loved this. It hit all of the boxes for me, with a spooky Halloween ritual, a scary but lovable pumpkin creature, and a mysterious dystopian-feeling little hamlet.
I listened to the audiobook on Libby, and the narrator, Vikas Adam absolutely killed it. Although I think I would have enjoyed the book on its own, this is one of the rare cases where I felt that the narration really elevated the experience. This would be a fun tradition to return to each year around Halloween time.
Some of the writing is a little over the top (and cheesy), but it suited the story and felt intentional. It also dragged a bit in spots, but overall this was a pretty lean and fun spooky story that obviously had a lot of care put into it. Would love to read (or listen to) more like this.
That’s about it!
