The Harvest Man

By Mr Samuel F.H Riding

In 1920s London, the Harrington family flees the city for a quiet village buried deep in the countryside - a place where the locals still whisper about old debts and older gods.

Thomas and Mary only want a fresh start for their son, Edward. But when harvest season arrives and the bonfire is built in the churchyard, the villagers begin their yearly "tithe" - and their son's name appears in a ledger that no one admits to writing.

As the nights grow longer and the wheat fields burn gold in the dying sun, the family discovers the truth behind the Harvest Man - a figure older than faith, bound to the land by a promise that must be kept.

No one who breaks the pact leaves the village alive.

A slow-burning tale of guilt, sacrifice, and survival, The Harvest Man is a chilling new entry in the Midnight Tales anthology - a portrait of a rural England where tradition becomes terror, and silence is the oldest sin of all.
