In the tradition of Stcphcn King, Down on

the Farm is a tense, unsettling exploration

of evil on a Michigan farm. Deep in the

cold earth beneath the Dubois family

farm, a grotesque primordial creature has

slept for a hundred years. MilIenia

before, it had arrived on this desolate

piece of land from another world,

immediately buried itself and began to

hibernate, a sleep filled with ghastly

dreams of violence to come. Now, as it

begins to stir from its grim slumber, it is

starved--but not for food. Only the

infliction of excruciating pain will slake

its thirst.

The demon thrives on the possession of

others, not only their bodies, but their

souls. First, it explores the lower life

forms: a henhouse rooster suddenly goes

berserk in a frenzy of bloodlust; then a

healthy young bull is found horribly

mutilated, its body torn and bleeding.

When two young lovers sneak into the

barn the creature finds that, through

possession, it can turn young love into

betrayal and fear. Then, it discovers the

Dubois family; one by one, the monster

will try to take them, and destroy them

forever.
