We All Fall Before The Harvest by C. M. Forest is another fantastic story. This one differs completely from his previous story, Infested, but it is just as entertaining.

Owen, a criminal, was hired by Ricky to steal a painting. The night he and his partner, Lester, steal the painting, goes smoothly with no issue. Later the next day, however, everything falls apart. Owen is running around all over town trying to find the painting, deliver the painting, and ultimately, try to destroy the painting. That painting ends up being more of a hindrance than anything else in Owen’s life. A cult is pissed he took the painting, so they are on a rampage to get it back. Nothing will stop The Family from getting that painting back. Kidnapping, bounding, torture, murder, you name it… The Family will do what it takes to get that painting back.

Owen, while he is a criminal, is a likeable character who you will start to care for. He is flawed in so many ways, but he’s the only human who has made numerous mistakes in his life. Come to think of it, there are no ‘good’ characters in this story. Every single one of them is evil and destructive. They all have a history and a story to share.

Forest does an excellent job of keeping tensions high throughout the story. The story flows smoothly, you don’t realize you’ve read the entire story within just a few hours. Forest will keep you absorbed in this macabre book and have you wonder how this could end with satisfaction. Forest nailed it, the ending was so unexpected, there is no other way it could have ended.

C. M. Forest is an excellent author with a vivid imagination. The stories I have read by Forest are always an adventure with lots of horror and suspense. He is a master at pulling you into his stories and keeping the pace all the way up to the end. Any of his books are worthy of your To-Be-Read pile. Make sure you add him to your list.

We All Fall Before The Harvest by C. M. Forest

In the guts of a nameless city, career criminal Owen fights for his sanity and his life. After stealing a morbid piece of artwork at the behest of his boss, Owen discovers the original owners of the grotesque painting are part of a twisted cult known as The Family—and they’ll stop at nothing to get it back.

The longer Owen possesses the painting, the more it warps his mind and alters the very world around him. Between those that want him dead, his own dark past, and his crumbling grip on reality, the walls are closing in. Unstable but determined, Owen is the only thing standing between our world and the coming Harvest.
