Author Robert Allbee invites readers into a chilling world where the familiar landscapes of rural America turn hostile in his new anthology, Harvest of Dread: 5 Tales of Terror. This gripping collection offers five standalone stories that reimagine classic horror in rural farms, forgotten towns, and unsettling relics.
The common theme in all these stories is the quiet, slow-building fear that something deeply unnatural is stirring. Each story immerses readers in atmospheric settings, bringing to life a haunting version of the countryside where the ordinary becomes terrifying.
The anthology opens with "Big Jake," a gripping story set on a struggling Iowa farm. Here, the introduction of a revolutionary new livestock feed triggers a horrifying transformation in the animals. Readers are drawn into the emotional struggle of farmer Thomas Allen, whose desperation to save his family's legacy collides with forces he cannot control. Through suspenseful storytelling, the author explores what it truly means to survive.
Other stories in the collection include Hillcrest, where a run-down, drive-in movie theater holds memories too powerful to stay buried, and The Marionette Museum, where obsession and dark history twist together inside a museum filled with eerie, lifelike puppets. In Lancelot, medieval legend merges with horror in a modern setting, while Howl follows a community grappling with ancient forces that threaten to rip apart everything they know.
What sets Harvest of Dread apart is the deep human reaction to the unsettling events. Robert Allbee’s storytelling focuses on characters who feel real and relatable. Readers will find themselves asking what choices they might make under impossible pressure.
With his rich, accessible style and attention to emotional detail, the author has created horror that lingers well beyond the final page. Harvest of Dread: 5 Tales of Terror is now available in paperback and hardcover editions on Amazon. Readers looking for their next chilling read will find much to enjoy, and much to fear, within its pages.
