About ‘The Last Harvest’
“I plead the blood.” Those were the last words seventeen-year-old golden boy quarterback Clay Tate heard rattling from his dad’s throat when he discovered him dying on the barn floor of the Neely Cattle Ranch, clutching a crucifix to his chest.
Now, on the first anniversary of the Midland, Oklahoma, slaughter, the whole town’s looking at Clay like he might go over the edge next. Clay wants to forget the past, but the sons and daughters of the Preservation Society — a group of prominent farmers his dad accused of devil worship — won’t leave him alone. His former almost-girlfriend, Ali, wants to reignite their romance after a year of silence. Hated rival Tyler Neely suddenly wants to buddy up.
All the while, Clay’s being hit with everything from endless creepy stares to horrific, gruesome pranks, but when he can never prove any of it happened, Clay worries he might be following his dad down the path to insanity…
