Dark Harvest is a collection of stories from Thirteen Authors. Every story in this The book starts with His Kiss Will Taste of Honey, a story by Nerine Dorman. I was very intrigued with this story. An Operation Dark Harvest - Airsoft Big Game team tries to clear a building Sunday of enemy fighters at Bing Field Airsoft and Paintball Park, 500 Bing Field Road, in Alton. Directed by David Slade. A legendary monster called October Boy terrorizes residents in a small Midwestern town when he rises from the cornfields every Halloween with his butcher knife and makes his way toward those who are brave enough to confront him.

Winner of the Bram Stoker Award and named one of the 100 Best Novels of 2006 by Publishers Weekly, Dark Harvest by Norman Patridge is a powerhouse thrill-ride with all the resonance of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery.”

Halloween, 1963. They call him the October Boy, or Ol’ Hacksaw Face, or Sawtooth Jack. Whatever the name, everybody in this small Midwestern town knows who he is. How he rises from the cornfields every Halloween, a butcher knife in his hand, and makes his way toward town, where gangs of teenage boys eagerly await their chance to confront the legendary nightmare. Both the hunter and the hunted, the October Boy is the prize in an annual rite of life and death.

Pete McCormick knows that killing the October Boy is his one chance to escape a dead-end future in this one-horse town. He’s willing to risk everything, including his life, to be a winner for once. But before the night is over, Pete will look into the saw-toothed face of horror–and discover the terrifying true secret of the October Boy . . .

Dark Harvest Review

I requested this book in the middle of October of last year. I just finally got it from the library a few weeks ago. That says something for how popular it is. What I can’t figure out, though, is how it’s as popular as it is. The only thing I can reckon is that – in it’s way – the writing is very similar to Stephen King’s. A deliciously creepy tale that’s buried under the pen of a writer who is a little too fond of the ‘sound of his own voice’ as it were.
The idea of the October Boy and the race to survive is truly a great one. It ignited my imagination and gave me a holy-shit-this-is-gonna-be-good shiver down my spine. Unfortunately, as the author reveals more details about what’s going on, it was all downhill from there. By three-quarters of the way through this novella, I was set on finishing it just because it was too short not to finish it.
Small-town evil can get boring quickly. Especially if it’s told in second person. In very purple second person. I can understand what the author was doing with his systematic dismemberment of the supernaturally horrific elements of the story but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.
That’s not to say I completely hated it by the time I was finished, because I didn’t.
Several of the scenes have very vivid imagery. So much so that you could easily see it happening in your head. It ended roughly the way it should have.
Overall, Dark Harvest isn’t a book I regret reading, mostly because the October Boy is one hell of a creation that will have me side-eyeing cornfields and jack-o-lanterns for a while. It is not, however, one I can strongly recommend, nor is Norman Partridge a writer I’m particularly eager to read from again.
