Dark Harvest adaptations: books & films
Every version of Dark Harvest — the books & films, compared across media.
Norman Partridge's Bram Stoker Award-winning Dark Harvest drops teenage boys into a deadly Halloween ritual in a small Midwestern town — an atmosphere the synopsis compares to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." The story has since been adapted into a 2023 film that brings the same cornfield ritual to the screen.
