And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black.<br /> Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More <i>yourself,</i> you will believe<i>.</i> But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.<br /> This is what happens when the townsfolk discover the secret of the orchard. Soon it seems that everyone is consumed by an obsession with the magic of the apples . . . and what’s the harm, if it is making them all happier, more confident, more powerful?<br /> Even if something else is buried in the orchard besides the seeds of these extraordinary trees: a bloody history whose roots reach back to the very origins of the town.<br /> But now the leaves are falling. The days grow darker. It’s harvest time, and the town will soon reap what it has sown. Literature. Thriller. Fiction. Horror. Media Type: Audiobook.
