Sara Smolarek's Reviews > Harvest Festival

Another scary-good offering from Karl Drinkwater, Harvest Festival combines the best of sci-fi and horror. Packed full of action and nail-biting suspense, it will leave you sleeping just a little less soundly, and perhaps a bit wary of blue-tinted lighting.

An ordinary farmer with two teenaged children who are getting harder to relate to, Callum finds himself defending his family when unknown invaders come to call. He has to dig deep for courage and ingenuity, and make the tough decisions needed to help them survive.

If you have read Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout series, you will see similarities between Callum and Mike Talbot, in a very good way. Like Mike, Callum is willing to do whatever it takes to save those he loves, and discovers resources within himself that he didn't know he possessed.

If you like horror, get this novella. If you like sci-fi, get this novella. If you are a fan of Tufo's zombies, get this novella. There are no zombies here, but there is something just as gruesome and frightening.
