Publisher's Summary

In a country village, a family of New Yorkers encounters a chilling ancient rite

After watching his asthmatic daughter suffer in the foul city air, Theodore Constantine decides to get back to the land. When he and his wife search New England for the perfect nineteenth-century home, they find no township more charming, no countryside more idyllic than the farming village of Cornwall Coombe. Here they begin a new life: simple, pure, close to nature - and ultimately more terrifying than Manhattan’s darkest alley.

When the Constantines win the friendship of the town matriarch, the mysterious Widow Fortune, they are invited to join the ancient festival of Harvest Home, a ceremony whose quaintness disguises dark intentions. In this bucolic hamlet, where bootleggers work by moonlight and all of the villagers seem to share the same last name, the past is more present than outsiders can fathom - and something far more sinister than the annual harvest is about to rise out of the earth.

slowwwww...

I love a slow burn.. but this was a bit too slow, and not a huge payoff for me.

Worth a listen :)

This audiobook was good for a listen. The storyline was very intriguing although the ending felt a bit soft. Perhaps I was hoping for a bit more of the supernatural elements because aside from the climax, I was never fully engaged with the story. The narrator obviously has talent, the voice did sound like someone a bit older than the main protagonist.

Predictable, Long & Boring

You know sometimes when you watch a horror movie you say, No don’t go in there or what are you doing? I didn’t say any of that with this book because I just didn’t care. You can figure out the plot in the first half an hour. It served its purpose of filling dead air on a long road trip, but I wish I had of spent my credit on something else. Stuck to it out to see if the ending would redeem itself. It did not. Narrating was good, but can’t recommend.
