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.
