Maxy Awards 2025 Runner-Up: Horror & Suspense

"Hunter weaves a tale that has the "modern horror fairytale" feel of books like Coraline or IT, while weaving in mature topics that add weight to the narrative. His exploration of grief, found family, and the search for purpose create some truly hard-hitting moments. I was thoroughly rapt by this novel." -Carlos E. Rivera, author of The Local Truth, Blackout, and A Hole in the World

Something is coming for the children.

Tim Waverly, a young teacher, escapes London's spiralling housing costs by becoming a live-in caretaker at an abandoned orphanage. But his arrival triggers a series of frightening events.

An ancient evil has awakened. A new Harvest has begun.

As Tim and those around him become engulfed in a dark nightmare, he is forced to confront his deepest fears in order to save countless innocent lives.

The Harvest is a work of terrifying imagination from a new voice in horror. Both frightening and deeply moving, Alex Hunter's debut novel will linger long after you turn the final page.
