The Busker

Rating:
Summary: An unmissable read.
Review: The arrival of a mysterious busker and his hyptonic music heralds the beginning of a nightmare for the residents of a rural community.

This is an excellent book, a real edge-of-seat story - especially memorable and effective are an organic-food-growing farmer's battle to survive against commercialist farmers poisoning the land with their chemicals, as well as chilling scenes of insane horses driven to attack their owners and enigmatic tiny corn people who are glimpsed in the fields and whose appearance heralds death and disaster in the area.
