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. Here they begin a new life: simple, pure, close to nature-and ultimately more terrifying than Manhattan's darkest alley. 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. After watching his asthmatic daughter suffer in the foul city air, Theodore Constantine decides to get back to the land. A family flees the crime-ridden city-and finds something worse-in "a brilliantly imagined horror story" by the New York Times-bestselling author (The Boston Globe).
