ABOUT CHILDREN OF THE CORN
A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection

Driving through the cornfields in rural Nebraska, Burt and Vicky run over a young boy—only to discover that they may not be responsible for his death. Out in the corn, something is watching them, and help is nowhere to be found.

From the unrivaled master of horror and the supernatural, Stephen King. “Children of the Corn,” first collected in the extraordinary collection Night Shift in 1973 and then adapted into a horror film franchise of the same name, is a terrifying and unforgettable classic of the genre.

An eBook short.

Excerpts

Burt turned the radio on too loud and didn't turn it down because they were on the verge of another argument and he didn't want it to happen.
