And losing might not be the worse thing in the world. Pete is gearing to win this year, even if it means breaking some rules, but he soon finds out there’s a darker truth to the Run. Set in an unnamed village on Halloween night 1963, Dark Harvest follows Pete McCormick, a teenage boy who is participating in the Run, an annual harvest ritual where he and the other teen boys in town chase a living pumpkin-headed scarecrow known as “Sawtooth Jack” and “The October Boy.” The kid who manages to catch and kill Sawtooth Jack before he reaches the church in the center of town by midnight wins great prizes for him and his family, including the right to leave the village. And I have to say, it certainly added to the drive. I started as I pulled out of my parking space and finished about a mile from my complex on the way home. And since I had to drive up to Cleveland yesterday (it’s a Passover thing, don’t ask) and the audio book was long enough for the drive to and back, I thought I would listen to it. I heard a movie based on this book was coming out later this year, so I thought I would check it out.
