Description: "A major talent." --Stephen King "Probably the most exciting and original voice in horror literature to have appeared in the last decade." --Peter Straub "This is contemporary American writing at its finest." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "If you're looking for a scary Halloween tale, with lots of blood and gore--and candy--you've come to the right place." -- Rocky Mountain News "Already [ Dark Harvest ] has the aura of a classic. Required reading for Halloween." -- Booklist "Using a quick, lean prose reminiscent of the finest Gold Medal-era fiction and, at the same time, as fresh as a Quentin Tarantino film, Partridge packs more into this slim volume than most authors do in a bloated 600-page epic." -- The Austin Chronicle "Dark Harvest is pure, beautiful blood-and-guts shoot-em-up, even if some of the guts are pumpkin. 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?
