We follow Sylvester who lives in a small, rural town in Kansas, where he works as a farmer. He recently lost his wife tragically and is dealing with the aftermath. His close friends and even the townsfolk walk on eggshells around him and give him pitying looks. It’s to the point where he’d rather stay at home then have to interact with anyone. So, Sylvester does just that- he spends a lot of time at home and quickly becomes enamored with goings-on of his new, mysterious neighbor.

I found it hard to put this down because of the mystery and intrigued the author builds. I found myself falling into the story and getting lost. It’s definitely a slow burn, but if you’re willing to hang in there, the pay off is pretty nice. 

The story starts out really slow, to the point that I almost gave up on it. But MAN am I glad I hung in there! When it finally does get going it is intense.

A story about a farmer in an isolated countryside who lost his wife to suicide, growing increasingly isolated in his grief. Over time he notices strange things going on in his cornfields, and over at his neighbor’s house. Finding answers may save the world, but it may also lead to tragedy
