Into The Tall Grass Book [exclusive] Jun 2026

When Cal and Becky try to leap into the air to locate each other over the tall stalks, they discover the field itself is moving them. They are physically displaced across massive distances between jumps. into the tall grass book

Have you read “In the Tall Grass”? Did you get the sense that the grass was hungry, or just bored? Let me know in the comments—just don’t whisper it from the other side of a field. The grass is alive

"In the Tall Grass" begins with a classic, terrifying hook: a brother and sister, Cal and Becky DeMott, are driving across the American Midwest when they hear a young boy crying for help from a vast field of grass by the side of the road. Being good Samaritans, they enter the grass to help. Once inside, they discover that the field is not merely a patch of nature—it is a sentient, disorienting labyrinth where time and space fold in on themselves. The boy is lost, and soon, they are too. You shout, but the sound warps

: Once they enter, they quickly realize the field is supernatural. It disorients them, shifting distances and directions so they cannot find each other or the road.

The pacing is breakneck. Because it is a novella, there is little time for fluff. The story moves from "curiosity" to "survival horror" in a matter of pages. The disorientation of the characters is transferred effectively to the reader—you feel just as trapped as they do.
