Holland and Niles Perry are identical thirteen-year-old twins. They are close, close enough, almost, to read each other's thoughts, but they couldn't be more different. Holland is bold and mischievous, a bad influence, while Niles is kind and eager to please, the sort of boy who makes parents proud. The Perrys live in the bucolic New England town their family settled centuries ago, and as it happens, the extended clan has gathered at its ancestral farm this summer to mourn the death of the twins' father in a most unfortunate accident.

For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on Gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only 90 minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith.

When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more - Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants...until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.

January 1937. Jack Miller has just about run out of options. His shoes have worn through, he can't afford to heat his rented room in Tooting, and he longs to use his training as an specialist wireless operator instead of working in his dead-end job. When he is given the chance to join an arctic expedition, as communications expert, by a group of elite Oxbridge graduates, he brushes off his apprehensions and convinces himself to join them.

There's only one catch: behind a strange and intricately carved door in a distant wing of the house lives elderly Mrs. Allardyce, and the Rolfes will be responsible for preparing her meals. But Mrs. Allardyce never seems to emerge from her room, and it soon becomes clear that something weird and terrifying is happening in the house.

Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a vengeful way.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Great Story! The Best of Peter Straub
- By Jaimie on 07-17-12
By: Peter Straub
Publisher's Summary
In a country village, a family of New Yorkers encounters a chilling ancient rite
After watching his asthmatic daughter suffer in the foul city air, Theodore Constantine decides to get back to the land. When he and his wife search New England for the perfect nineteenth-century home, they find no township more charming, no countryside more idyllic than the farming village of Cornwall Coombe. Here they begin a new life: simple, pure, close to nature - and ultimately more terrifying than Manhattan’s darkest alley.
When the Constantines win the friendship of the town matriarch, the mysterious Widow Fortune, they are invited to join the ancient festival of Harvest Home, a ceremony whose quaintness disguises dark intentions. In this bucolic hamlet, where bootleggers work by moonlight and all of the villagers seem to share the same last name, the past is more present than outsiders can fathom - and something far more sinister than the annual harvest is about to rise out of the earth.

more literate than horror and solid
this is billed as an "oh my god" horror novel but it is not like that at all I don't think. it is well done and a lot more in it than i remembered from having read it years ago. If you're familiar at all with Fowle's The Magus, the film the Wicker Man, fertility rites, Burnt Offerings, greek myth and Eleusinian mysteries you will pick up on what's going on early on and for that reason it didn't surprise me nor shock me.
I like it very much for all those reasons (tidbits of lore and history etc.) and i think it is well researched as far as that goes. Joseph Campbell deals with a lot of fertility rites etc that have some shocking elements and I think that Tryon's overall "reconstruction" of a society of that type is very well thought out.
I can't rank it as highly as The Other as i feel there are some moments that needed to be redrawn as they got a bit unbelievable or cliche, and i think that it meanders a bit along the way to it's goal, whereas the Other didn't feel like there was anything extraneous in it.
Overall I'm glad i revisited it and found many things in it that i'd totally forgotten and it is better than i remembered. A friend liked this one better than Other. I think that with a little more pace, it could make for an excellent film if someone like HBO took the time to do a little mini series and cover all the important detail.
(i do think the narrator was fine but a little lackluster, some moments needing more emotion in a character's voice than he gave)

While the book itself is slightly dated, I find interesting that it's dealings with religion are so current in some respects. I cannot say much without spoilers, so I must leave it at that! The ending was a surprise and it was fun not to have guessed correctly!

I loved this book!
The story draws you into a quaint perfect little village. I found myself jealous of the closeness that everyone shared.
But then the sinister side is revealed....
The ending was a complete surprise. I never saw that coming!
This is a very well written book and the narrator does an excellent job.

Thought Provoking Book
What made the experience of listening to Harvest Home the most enjoyable?
The different intonations of the characters by the reader. The characters were defined.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Harvest Home?
There were two parts - one involving Worthy Pettinger and the other involved Justin Hook. The detective work behind Gracie Everdeen was very interesting and kept me very interested in the story.
What does Jonathan Yen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He was able to read with a buildup to certain parts that kept me waiting for more. Some parts had me holding my breath!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely - I had to work darn it!
Any additional comments?
I was not a fan of audio books and a friend told me it was the way to go as she has a little bit of a commute which helps while the time away. She was right and I am hooked. My husband and I have been listening every day for 1-2 hours with a healthy discussion during the breaks we take. It is a nice bonding experience and I can't wait for the next audio book experience. Plus it brings back the highlights of the movie with Bette Davis and Dan Akroyd as well as the book which I have read a few times.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Harvest Home?
MANY. I CAN PICK ONE BUT THERE WERE MANY MOMENTS. I WILL CHOOSE WHEN NICK REALIZED WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO JACK STUMP.
Which character – as performed by Jonathan Yen – was your favorite?
THE WIDOW FORTUNE. BUT ALL WERE GREAT. ROBERT WAS DONE WELL TOO.
If you could take any character from Harvest Home out to dinner, who would it be and why?
GEE, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE SEVERAL. I THINK JUSTIN OR ROBERT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IN THIS STORY. I THINK ROBERT HELD BACK A LOT. TAMAR SPOOKED ME. I THINK I WOULD BE INTIMIDATED BY HER.
Any additional comments?
WHEN I COULD READ PHYSICALLY I MUST HAVE READ THIS BOOK AT LEAST 5 TIMES MAYBE MORE. I SAW THE MOVIE TOO. GOOD MOVIE (DARK SECRET OF HARVEST HOME). THE AUDIOBOOK MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO READ AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Standard cult story
Predictable and painfully slow in places. It lacks good character development or even any real shock value.

Annoying narration, dull tale
The story had the potential to be interesting, but it devolved into repetitiveness and the mysteries, once unveiled, were anticlimactic and/or nonsensical.
The narrator’s attempt to mimic the old woman and small child were painful to say the least.

Pastoral horror...
I first read and enjoyed Tom Tryon’s ‘Harvest Home’ about 50 year’s ago. At the time I suspect I was initially curious to find out what this very good looking film actor had written! Later, one of my favourite actresses, Bette Davis. played the widow in an adaptation for television.
This Audible production has delighted me. The story hasn’t dated, the narration is convincing and the characters are absorbing - especially the widow - still Bette Davis in my mind’s eye!!
