"The First Sheaf" by H.R. Wakefield
Old Porteous tells his friend about his strange experiences as a boy in Reedley End, an isolated parish plagued by drought and crop failure, whose denizens may have tried to reverse their fortunes by turning to "the old ways".
This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast. "The First Sheaf" by H. Russell Wakefield was first published in 1939.
