From the Description
READER'S ADVISORY: This novel contains scenes that sane readers will find disturbing, including incredibly graphic descriptions of horrific violence and unimaginably depraved sexual acts. Obviously, this is a work exclusively intended for mature audiences.
They moved to Redhaven because of its folksy charm, its old fashioned small town feel, its safe schools and its nonexistent crime rate.
They moved to Redhaven because the town's locally owned bank is so reasonable and generous with low interest mortgages and small business start up loans.
They moved to Redhaven because everyone there is so friendly, so neighborly, so pleasant and helpful and kind. Because Redhaven seems like the kind of place where you don't have to lock your doors at night, where you can raise your kids in peace and quiet.
They moved to Redhaven because it seemed to be so wholesome... so safe.
THEY MADE A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE MISTAKE...
...one they won't live to regret...

Harvest Night is a disturbingly graphic, stomach churning and utterly terrifying nightmare. To say that this book is not for the faint of heart would be an understatement. This book has sex, violence, cannibalism, torture, rape, incest, child abuse (of the worst kind!), bestiality, murder, MKULTRA (if you don't know what that is go ahead and look it up, I'll wait), with a few vampires and werewolves thrown in for good measure. The story is about the cult of Satanists that founded and run the small town of Redhaven with an iron fist and the small group of FBI agents determined to put a stop to their depraved reign of terror. The cast of characters is huge and made up of mostly deplorable people doing horrific things. The dark tone is reminiscent of The Purge while the writing reminded me of something by Jack Ketchum or one of William Johnstone's demon books. Admitting that I liked this book makes me feel dirty, like I need to go shower off the filth it left on my soul. This book is not for everyone but if your not squeamish and enjoy extreme horror then you might want to give this 4 star read a try.

"a cross between ROSEMARY’S BABY and THE PURGE."– lunablue
"Maybe the best, most well thought out small town horror mythology I’ve ever read. Dude goes all out." – vivatoto, absolutepunk.net
"Definitely a master work. Highly recommended."– Lisa R.
"… an unremittingly dark, wrenchingly violent horror novel told with considerable skill and in-your-face brio and all the more chilling because, at its core, it is a story about the slow decay of the American century."– John McDaid, harddeadlines.com
