    Synopsis
    A family flees the crime-ridden city--and finds something worse--in "a brilliantly imagined horror story" by the New York Times -bestselling author ( The Boston Globe ). 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. Credited as the inspiration for Stephen King's Children of the Corn , Thomas Tryon's chilling novel was ahead of its time when first published, and continues to provoke abject terror in readers.

      • Harvest Home an Interesting Thriller

        A 1972 Thomas Tryon novel I wanted to read again and couldn't get from the library. I can't lay it down. A TV movie was made with Bette Davis as the Widpw Fortune that is also unavailable. Book concerns a small village in New England named Cornwall Coombe. Plenty of interesting things going on in this mysterious place that comes to light when a family from New York City discovers the place and buys a house there. Charmingly written and not something you can rush through.

      • "We should have stayed in New York"

        A book which builds ominously from the beginning, a fast read. Harvest Home was made into a movie in 1978, but you will find the book is worth the time and you'll be turning the pages quickly. There is also an audiobook, but again its well worth reading. Character development is so complete you find yourself, saying, "Oh,Oh",as the various characters find themselves in a situation that is out of their control. The ending is a horror unto itself. The last few pages will make you believe in the quote," The banality of Evil."
