Summary: Chilling mystery/horror at its best!
Review: Tryon's technique of subtle deception in an otherwise peaceful atmosphere of rural New England lulls the reader into an ignorant bliss. The serenity is not long-lived, however, as strange and disturbing events materialize to our horror and leave us wondering what kind of a hell we've wandered into. An especially nightmarish tale for us guys! Good stuff!

Summary: One of the creepiest novels I ever read ...
Review: When I picked up Harvest Home in a second-hand bookshop I had pretty low expectations - I'd read other works by the same author and been decidedly underwhelmed. Once I'd read it I decided that perhaps all writers have one really good book in them - they just need to find the right subject matter. The fact that I guessed the dark secret of Harvest Home by about the middle of the book did nothing to spoil my enjoyment - and I have to say that the ending of the book is amazing - dark but amazing ... Sadly this book now seems to be out of print - but my advice would be if you see a second hand copy for sale snap it up! My guess is that it's a book most people will hang on to because they want to read it again and again.My verdict: One of my all time favourites - not great literature just a really entertaining read

Summary: Great Halloween read
Review: Years ago, friends of mine who'd seen the TV movie spoiled the ending for me, but I finally decided to read it anyway. I'm glad I did. Although I knew the ending, there were plenty of moments along the way that took me by surprise, moments where I realized something as the narrator did as well. Beyond the horror elements, "Harvest Home" is a great book, richly detailed with unforgettable characters like Mother Fortune.
