Equal parts eerie, humorous and heartwarming, Harvest is a short story of down-home fantasy and a fairytale for grown-ups best told in the dark...
Why'd that old hag do this t' me and you?
She scooched a little closer. I'm guessin' that, just like me, that old hag gave you pumpkin seeds that tasted somethin' terrible? But she said to swallow 'em 'cause they were magic an' all?
Edgar frowned. They were cursed, weren't they?
Nope. Just poisoned!
He pointed to himself. And that's why I blacked out? And then she hex-ed me?
Emelia shook her head. An' that's when you died. An' then she buried you in her garden with a ritual like she did with me a year prior. We done got our souls turned into fertilizer, you and I.
If Edgar's face could pale to match his shocked expression, it would have.
Oh Sugar, it's alright...
With whimsical humor and eccentric fantasy dappled in darkness, fans of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett will enjoy this short tale of kindness found in odd places. If quirky characters with a country twang and a fairytale detoured to the pumpkin patch sound good to you, then Harvest will surely prove an entertaining read!
