The Cornfield Curse That Wakes at Midnight
Every October, the corn on Hollow Creek Road grows taller than it should. Every October, the scarecrows turn to face the farmhouse.
Tessa Hollis comes home to sell her late grandfather's farm. She wants one quick weekend and then she's gone. But the locals won't meet her eyes, and they board their windows before dusk. The neighbor who warns her to be out of the fields by midnight is found the next morning with straw in his mouth.
Tessa counts eleven scarecrows in the cornfield. By Friday there are twelve. By Saturday one of them is standing closer to her bedroom window.
With Caleb Thackeray, the last farmhand who knows the truth, she digs into the buried history of Marlowe Woods and the Old Mill. A bargain made a century ago keeps the harvest rich, and the field has never stopped collecting what it's owed. Now the curse has her family's name on it.
When the church bell strikes twelve, the corn begins to whisper. Tessa has until the last night of October to break the curse, or the field will make her the thirteenth scarecrow.
Do not walk the rows after midnight. They already know your name.
