It's also a Halloween campfire tale that lingers in your ears and crawls down your dreams." --Glen Hirshberg, author of Nothing to Devour "A powerhouse thrillride with all the resonance of Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery.' You get a pumpkin-headed scarecrow with a butcher knife (driving a Chrysler), a twisted town full of rampaging teenagers, and one seriously demented bad boy cop just itching to cap a few asses. What you get with Norm Partridge is simply the best." --Tom Piccirilli, author of The Last Kind Words "What's the best, most badass Halloween horror movie ever made? It's the one that screened inside my head while reading Norm Partridge's astounding Dark Harvest . In the process, Partridge has carved himself a classic slice of modern myth-making Americana. And my favorite holiday just got even weirder and cooler. LONG LIVE THE OCTOBER BOY!" -- John Skipp , New York Times bestselling author of The Long Last Call
