The Fiends in the Furrows III: Final Harvest Reviews
-
'The Fiends In The Furrows III: Final Harvest" edited by David T. Neal and Christine M. Scott is the third installment of what I now consider an incredible folk horror trilogy is just that: an incredible third installment. A brand new collection of nineteen folk horror stories, expertly curated by Neal and Scott, give readers exactly what they want: classic horror themes explored via the terrifyingly real effects of nature. From misunderstood pagan rituals to the power of women through history, 'Final Harvest' is an excellent addition to the folk horror canon and a fantastic (possible) completion of the Fiends in The Furrows trilogy. With all that being said, I find it hard to properly rate a story collection. I would consider this a five star read; however I am biased, as I loved the first two collections and this is my favorite sub genre of horror. Regardleas of that, I have included my favorite stories (and the feelings I felt for a couple of them🤪) and will forever recommend this collection and it's counterparts to those who love horror and especially folk horror.

I don't feel right giving this anthology a numerical rating as it contains one of my own stories, but I was a huge fan of the first two volumes of this series and this one felt like an excellent capstone for the project. Lots of excellent stories with a wide variety of takes on folk horror. If you dug the first two books, or if you just enjoy folk horror in general, you can't go wrong with this book.
