Corn Field

What drew the boys into the cornfield that day? Bravado? Stupidity? Or was it more? Was it really to discover the truth behind the disappearance of that Pinchly kid the one who went in, and never came out?

Gary Crew speaks about the writing …
“There are certain places that make us feel uneasy. This could be somewhere like under a bridge, in a cemetery, or it might be no more than an empty room. Whatever causes that feeling, we feel an urgent need to get out of that place: we have to cut and run because we sense that a bad thing is about to happen there. ‘Corn Field’ is a story about just such a “bad place”. In writing it, I wanted to investigate the logic (or lack of logic) behind such unnerving and irrational human sensationsand the consequences suffered by those who do not follow their better judgement and leave!” Gary Crew
