"This was an outstanding blend of horror, speculative fiction, and apocalyptic fantasy topped with madness." --Horror DNA

Beware of what lurks in the corn.

Fairies don't exist. At least that's what Thomas Cavanaugh's parents say. But the events of that one night, when he follows a fairy into the cornfield on his parents' farm, prove them wrong. What seems like a destructive explosion was, Thomas knows, an encounter with Dauðr, a force that threatens to destroy the fairy's world and his sanity.

Years later, after a troubled childhood and a series of dead-end jobs, he is still haunted by what he saw that night. One day he crosses paths with a beautiful young woman and a troubled young man, soon realizing that he first met them as a kid while under psychiatric care after his encounters in the cornfield. Has fate brought them together? Are they meant to join forces to save the fairy's world and their own? Or is one of them not who they claim to be?

For readers who enjoy The Wanderers by Chuck Wendig, The Whispering North by Alex North, and Devil's Rock by Paul Tremblay.
