About There's Something in the Cornfield
A Novel of Blood, Secrets, and the Harvest They call him the Huskman. Woven from bone, vine, and husk, he is ancient, vengeful, and hungry. Fed once a month under the full moon, the price of peace is steep—and the corn remembers. When documentary filmmaker Ava returns to the dying town of Dry Creek, she’s only looking for stories about vanishing Midwestern communities. What she finds is a secret rooted in cornfields and watered with blood. The locals are tight-lipped. The nights are filled with whispers. And her estranged father—gruff corn farmer Silas—warns her not to go into the fields after dark. But curiosity is a powerful thing. So is denial. And when the full moon rises, Ava witnesses her father feeding the corn. As Ava digs into Dry Creek’s past, she uncovers the story of a murdered preacher, a buried curse, and a terrible pact made generations ago. The deeper she goes, the closer she comes to the truth— and to being next.
