Plot summary
Burt and Vicky, a bickering married couple, are driving to California to fix their failing marriage. As they drive through rural Nebraska, the couple accidentally run over the body of a young boy who had been killed and thrown onto the road. Knowing they will have to report this to the authorities, they place the body in their car's trunk and continue down the road. They eventually arrive in Gatlin, a small, isolated town that seems to be abandoned. When they drive through the streets and visit an empty diner, the couple notice that many things about the town are out-of-date, such as gas prices and calendar dates. When they finally locate the police station, they find no one. This fact piques Burt's interest, and he tells a frightened Vicky that he is going to explore the town. By now, Vicky, verging on hysteria, begs Burt to leave Gatlin. When she reminds him that she has her own set of keys to the car, Burt seizes her purse and takes them, angrily summing up her manipulative attitude towards him throughout their marriage. He then leaves Vicky sitting helplessly in the car.
The only building in use that Burt can find is a church with a recent date on the sign out front. In stark contrast with the rest of Gatlin—which has been neglected for years—the church is reverently cared for. Inside, Burt finds that the church has been vandalized by someone who has torn the lettering off of the walls, created a strange mosaic of Jesus behind the altar, and stuffed the pipes of the organ full of corn husks and leaves. At the altar, Burt finds a ledger where names have been recorded, along with birth and death dates. While reading the book, he notices that the children's original names were changed from modern names to Biblical ones, and that everyone listed as deceased in the book had died at age nineteen. Finally realizing the danger he's in, Burt runs from the church to find that a gang of children armed with farm tools has surrounded the car, with Vicky still inside. Burt intervenes when they attack and kill a boy who had injured him with a knife. He discovers that Vicky has disappeared. Upon command from an older boy, the children chase Burt through Gatlin.
Finally outrunning them, Burt ducks into a cornfield and hides while his attackers search for him. Burt begins to walk through the corn as night falls. Becoming lost, Burt stumbles onto a circle of empty ground in the middle of the cornfield, where he discovers the skeletonized corpses of Gatlin's previous minister and police chief, bound to crosses made of bound corn. He also discovers Vicky's dead body. He is then captured and killed by an enormous creature who comes out of the cornfield. Later on, the children of Gatlin, all members of a quasi-pagan cult that worships God—called "He Who Walks Behind the Rows"—meet where Burt and Vicky were slain. Issac, their leader, tells them that He Who Walks Behind The Rows is displeased with their failure to catch and kill Burt, an act that the creature was forced to commit on his own. He Who Walks Behind the Rows commands that the age limit be lowered from "nineteen plantings and harvestings to eighteen". The story ends with the eighteen-year-old children of Gatlin walking into the corn in an act of ritual sacrifice.
[edit] Connections to other books
Similar themes found in David Pinner's Ritual (1963) and Thomas Tryon's 1973 novel Harvest Home. Gatlin was mentioned in It. Hemingford Home, a neighboring town to Gatlin, was also the town where Mother Abagail lived and rounded up the good survivors of the super flu in The Stand, and was also the location of "The Last Rung on the Ladder". Also in The Stand, "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" is implied to be Randall Flagg.
[edit] Film, TV or theatrical adaptations
The story was first adapted into film as Disciples of the Crow (1983). A year later, the story was adapted into a bigger-budget film under the same name as the original story, starring Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton. Several sequels and quasi-remakes followed. Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts and Eva Mendes have each appeared in one of the sequels. Other well known actors who have made sequel appearances include Nancy Allen, Stacy Keach, Ahmet Zappa, Karen Black, David Carradine, Fred Williamson and Michael Ironside. In September 2009, the Syfy channel premiered a new television movie based on the short story.
