Harvest Time (Paperback or Softback)

Harvest Time by Dan Fields, Chris Robinson, and Joe Filipas is a gripping novel that seamlessly blends elements of creature horror, American Gothic, and rural terror into an unforgettable road trip thriller.

Set against the backdrop of classic drive-in horror films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Pumpkinhead, this story takes readers on a harrowing journey through the heart of America's dark, untamed landscapes.

For two young couples, a westward camping trip across the United States was meant to heal familial rifts and reconnect them with the natural world. The highway takes a fateful detour to a remote Nebraska town plagued by severe drought and besieged by unusually aggressive crows.

On a lone flourishing farm amidst the parched, forsaken land, the travelers encounter a malevolent force among the towering, neglected rows of corn. The sinister entity plans to force them into its twisted battle against the crow infestation. As night falls, they face a harrowing fight for survival that will challenge their very humanity.

Harvest Time is a masterful blend of suspense and supernatural terror, pushing its characters to unthinkable choices and aligning them with unlikely allies in a climactic battle to end the farm's cycle of destruction before dawn returns to light the last of the reaping. This novel is a thrilling exploration of the depths of human resilience and the dark secrets that lie buried in America's rural heartland.
