'Masterfully written and a terrifying true journey into Alien Abduction. The benchmark for all paranormal accounts from the greatest paranormal author of his time.' Mysterious Radio G.L Davies invites you to join him on his most terrifying investigation yet. In 2009 one woman from Pembrokeshire believed she was abducted by aliens. What followed was a terrifying ordeal of alien visitation, nightmarish visions, encounters with terrifying creatures, a connection to the past, and a prophecy of destruction on the scale never before seen in Pembrokeshire's peaceful history. Should these events be true, then no one is safe. The harvest has begun…

*3.5 stars *

How did life on Earth really begin, was it through evolution or divine creation? Well, there’s another alternative, one that is gaining in popularity - and that is that we were engineered by advanced alien beings! So, are we the only intelligent life form in the universe?

Stephen Hawking once said “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans “

Author G L Davies, had spent many years studying the paranormal before he decided to take a closer look at UFO and alien activity reports in his home county of Pembrokeshire in Wales, known locally as the Welsh Triangle. One case in particular stood out, and the story that ‘Susan ‘ (not her real name) related about her alien visitations, and what the aliens have in mind for the human race is a really sobering and frightening tale.

I approached this book with an open mind, and discovered an account of repeated alien abductions that Susan had suffered, and her account results in an extraterrestrial nightmare, which was so terrifying and distressing to read, that one has to ask the question, was ‘Susan’s’ account real, or is this someone suffering from delusional disorder? If it is real, then we all have something to worry about. Read it for yourself, then you decide!

Whether or not you believe in UFO’s or aliens, this story will chill you to the bone.

If this story is in fact true, the premise of the tale and its ramifications could possibly change or sway your opinions as to whether there are aliens in the vast beyond, or if they have been on our planet for a very long time.

As in past G.L. Davies’ books, he once again interviews and researches a claim, in the past hauntings, in this case a woman, who believes she was abducted in 2009 by aliens not just once but many times over a certain period. To this day she is terrified of what she saw and that they will return.

Through interview questions we learn how Susan’s (not her real name) life spiraled out of control after she had some sort of incident while sleeping in a barn loft while attending a friend get together. Not really sure what to think, Susan tries to shrug the episode off and continue on with her life until a second happening occurred which involved herself and her then boyfriend.

Then Susan began to have dreams…horrible nightmarish dreams in which she is visited by family members who have passed as well as small alien-like figures. Dreams in which she encountered women like herself and somehow was able to communicate with them. Post-visitations, she would become sick for days vomiting and having nosebleeds, as well as other symptoms. Susan, who lived with her aunt at the time began to notice her aunt begin to seem ill as well. Finally, her aunt asked her to please move out and move back in with her parents.

As she tells what she believes took place, giving Davies impeccable and detailed descriptions of the encounters such as where they were, details and descriptions of the aliens, other humans encountered, she begins to see what she describes as visions of some catastrophic event in which she is not sure will end the world or be a horrific incident in the future.

As Susan’s life begins to be overtaken by these visions, and the the thought of when the next one will come, she decides to cut-off communication with her family and friends for fear they will somehow become pulled into whatever is happening. She now lives a very lonely existence in fear of sleeping, in fear of her unknown.

Whether Susan has really been visited by aliens, or whether this is something else, the specificity of her memory must lead one to ask did this really happen to Susan? I will leave you with this quote which Davies begins his book:

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

-Arthur C. Clark

~About

The book follows the paranormal ordeals of the Pembrokeshire people in Wales. One young woman’s experiences in particular are focused on, a lady who has here been named Susan, for privacy purposes.

The book explores Susan’s experiences, resulting emotions and observations of things she had no way of explaining to the everyday people around her.


~People Involved

Two people feature for the majority of the book, Gavin (G. L. Davies), a long-time paranormal investigator, and Susan, the woman being interviewed about her paranormal experiences.

The interviews were conducted by Mr Davies with a great deal of empathy, curiosity, and an open mind. It is left to the reader to interpret the events Susan claims to have experienced.


For what it’s worth, Susan seemed stable, having great insight into her personal experiences and what they might mean. In addition, the investigation held my attention well as more details of Susan’s experiences were revealed.

All I can say is that I found myself at least partially convinced that what she had experienced was real.



~Likes

The book begins with an interesting quote from Arthur. C. Clarke:
‘Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.’

This quote covers both sides of the investigation argument: readers may choose to believe the account they are reading, as I began to, or they may believe that there is no such thing as otherworldly beings. The choice, from the start, is left up to them.


I liked many things about Harvest, one being the descriptive nature of Susan’s account. Her trauma from the various things she experienced is evident from the start, lending her a certain credibility in my eyes.

The book is well structured, with the interviewer demonstrating a consistent level of empathy toward Susan, the interviewee. Their discussions regarding Susan’s experiences were thought-provoking, with a genuine level of compassion being shown between two human beings, something we rarely see between people nowadays.


~Memorable Quotes

Two quotes struck me as I was reading Harvest, one of which concerns how we view strangers, and the other concerning our general knowledge of the world we live in.

1) ‘No-one cares about a stranger’s life, and when they do, they assume the worst.’

2) ‘Never be afraid to question everything you think you know.’


That second quote really hit home with me. So often in life, we will accept whatever we are told as the unequivocal truth. Maybe it’s time we began to question things more, to delve deeper into our understanding of the world and ourselves.


~Overview

Overall, Harvest was a thought-provoking and at times startling read. Reading it was an immense and terrifying experience in itself. When I finished it, I sat in silence for several minutes, trying to imagine what Susan must have gone through.

My Rating: 5 stars. A gripping, absorbing exploration of one young woman’s terrifying ordeal.
Recommended: to readers who are interested in asking big questions about life and the nature of our world.

Very good read overall. Very scary if it is true! These types of books are fun because they don't try to make you believe, they are just telling 1 persons story of what they feel to be true. It is up to you to decide of not in the end. There was a line though that although simple, was a bit scary. It said either something along the lines of, we are either alone in this universe or we are not, and either option is scary. When you think about it like that, it is very true!

This book records a series of interviews by G L Davies, taken with a young woman in her late 20's. The woman, called Susan by the author, recounts a series of highly unpleasant and traumatic events involving extra-terrestrials. These, she claims, not only kidnapped her and subjected her to intrusive medical experiments that damaged her physically; as creatures technologically advanced beyond our understanding as well as possessing strong psychic powers, they also messed with her mind and memory, apparently subjecting her to psychological experiments as well. And then there are the conclusions Susan has to draw from some of the other visions that came to her: of a future ecological/nuclear disaster in the Wales she is based in, of the possibility that humans are being harvested in the way humans themselves harvest animals here - and with as little empathy or kindness.

G L Davis assures us that Susan's story can be backed by other reports of UFO sightings that have taken place in South Wales - especially from the 70's and 80's.

The reader will gave to decide if all this is true or not. This is certainly a disturbing and at times, deeply unpleasant read. Whatever did happen to Susan, it is certainly clear that this is the account of a deeply traumatised and abused individual. It is difficult to read on that basis. Susan loses all her friends, a relative and witnesses the horrible death of two beloved pets. Perhaps all this is magnified, in a Poe-esque kind of a way, in that the writer, being an alcoholic. is so empathetic to the cruelty that Susan has suffered.

The psychiatric community próbably would be able to provide other rationales for what may really have happened to Susan.

If, however, there really are such malevolent aliens lurking in the wings, then possibly their treatment of us may be no less than we deserve, considering how we treat animals and the planet - there again however, Susan's vision might be an expression of a massive collective guilt.

If this is true, it's utterly terrifying. However, having read the likes of Majestic (which bills itself as a fictional telling of the Roswell incident) I do tend to keep my wits about me when people claim that a book is a true story. I suppose that we're so used to being duped these days that even when crystal clear UFO footage turns up, we're quick to write it off as fake.

However, true or not, this book should serve as a warning (and I believe that Davies uses the Hawking quote) to how we treat anyone else who may be out in the universe. There's so much talk of love and light from alien beings. In reality, they may not have our best interests at heart.

Davies really does have a talent for drawing a story from a person and I'll take my hat off to him with this one. Susan, I hope that you're finding the peace that you so rightly deserve.

If you know me, you know I love stories about aliens. What I don't like, however, is books like these. I think maybe I had the wrong idea about it, but that's okay. I still liked it, I just didn't love it. It had really heavy The Fourth Kind vibes, and although I love that movie, something about this book just didn't sit right with me. It's not that I don't believe what the person involved in the situation says happened to her, it's that I don't like being guilt tripped into feeling like I have to believe her because everyone else blames mental illness.

Empecé con algunas dudas porque, honestamente, la sinopsis me pareció una más de muchas que buscan crear expectativas cuando en realidad la historia es muy suave. Sin embargo, a medida que leía quedaba cada vez más aterrado por lo que contaba esta mujer. Las situaciones por las que pasó me parecían salidas de una película de terror, pero mucho más fuerte.

I started with some doubts because, honestly, the synopsis seemed like one of many that seek to create expectations when in reality the story is very soft. However, as I read, I became more and more terrified by what this woman was saying. The situations she went through seemed like something out of a horror movie, but much heavier.

I'm a sucker for a good alien abduction story, so when I saw this one on sale I bought it as I love this genre. It isn't a long book, and I finished it in one sitting.

The story takes place in Haverfordwest, Wales, around 2009. Susan is a young university student who one night falls afoul of a bright light that visits her at a cottage she and her friends are staying in, also costing the life of her friend's beloved dog. This leads to her becoming alienated from her friends, and from then on the rest of her life begins to spiral down as she suffers disturbing visions and nightmares, seemingly caused by the intrusion of aliens into her life.

This culminates in her finding herself in a biomechanical factory run by aliens, where human women are harvested for various bodily secretions and organs, hinting that humanity is being farmed by our alien visitors for nefarious purposes, just as we farm animals ourselves.

GL Davies writes quite a good story, and it kept me turning the pages until the very end. The style it's written in is quite compelling, taking the form of an extended interview with Susan over a few nights as she recounts her tale, and the idea of someone having to cut themselves off from family and friends lest they fall prey to the aliens too is quite poignant.

So that said, why the three stars? Well...one, once you reach the end you see some pretty blunt and blatant comparisons to how humans farm animals, about how Susan can no longer eat meat because of what she's seen, and then you can see that this book is probably more about making criticisms of the industrial farming system, using aliens as a narrative device. Fair enough, but I did roll my eyes at the unsophisticated preachiness towards the end. Most intelligent readers would have already made the comparison without Susan's rant about it.

Two... it's kind of a "greatest hits" of alien stories. UFO sightings, weird visions, horrific alien bases where helpless humans are experimented on and harvested for DNA/organs etc, when you finally get to the reveal of what is behind all of the weirdness in Susan's life it's fairly paint by numbers. The interviewer character expresses horror at this saying it's something new and "genocide", but if you're an avid reader of this stuff like I am you've seen it all before. I guess I'm just jaded, but I was able to see where it was going pretty quickly.

If you're looking for a story that's well written and has quite a poignant premise, this is good. I just felt that the pretty blatant plugs for veganism were annoying and the final "revelation" of malevolent aliens harvesting humans for evil purposes were kinda cliche, so it loses some points for that.

If you're on an alien abduction story binge and want more material to keep you going though, it's still worth a read.

Required Reading

Required reading for those drawn to UFO topics.
Particularly appreciate and respect this author’s integrity and candor. No bs here. The author presents as was presented to him and leaves the reader to judge.

My opinion on the subject:
Regarding the awe of the “alien” technology expressed by experiencers of apparent personal encounters, please consider such “technology” should enable the “aliens” to effortlessly synthesize any chemical substances, including hormones, that are reportedly being taken from human subjects.

Our current level of technology very nearly makes this possible for human scientists and it certainly will be within our grasp in the near future. How much more so for an “advanced” civilization?

“Abductees” report invasive medical procedures that are unnecessary in current medical science. Apply common sense, disregard the drugs, smoke, and mirrors and it becomes obvious that these encounters, if objectively valid, certainly do NOT involve beings possessing any form of technology superior to our own. Quite the contrary.

If these beings are as ancient as reportedly claimed by them why have they not achieved even a level of technology that “inferior primitive” humans have developed in less than 300 years?

Your bs detector should be going off the scale as applied to the reported claims of “aliens”. Think!

An advanced space faring civilization that needs to interact with human beings for ANY reason (other than curiosity) is absurd on its face. This smacks of human thought processes.

Please understand I am not suggesting the people reporting these events are lying or insane. They might be. That’s a possibility.

Here’s another possibility:
Most of these people are being victimized by something, but that something is not at all what it presents itself as, or allows itself to be perceived as.

If you find this topic interesting (I do) think outside of the “alien” box. Put on your best investigator hat and pick these reports apart. You cannot prove the supposed victim is fabricating a yarn, but you can apply logic to the extent that you realize if true, these reports have absolutely NOTHING to do with alien astronauts.

Think!

Harvest by G.L. Davies

160 Pages
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing Ltd
Release Date: October 30, 2020

Non-Fiction (Adult), Paranormal, Aliens, Alien Abduction, Health, Mind & Body

This book is written in an interview style. It involves a woman named “Susan” that describes her harrowing experience with alien interactions. In 2009, she had her first experience and witnessed a dog taken by the aliens. The rest of the experiences were of a more personal nature. She would wake up with nose bleeds, abdominal cramps and other illnesses. She witnessed an alien being literally suck the life out of her aunt and cat.

The question always comes up if this type of person is telling the true or making it up. I have watched countless television shows (Ancient Aliens and In Search of…Aliens with Zachery Quinto and which July 20, 2018) to know that what these people experience is real to them. I can only hope I never experience anything as terrifying as what Susan went through.

Mr. Davies listened attentively as Susan went into detail about her many experiences. It is obvious he truly cared about her well-being. The story is well written and researched. There is a section in the middle of the book regarding the Welsh Triangle and the events people experienced in the mid1970s.

If you are interested in the paranormal, supernatural, and/or aliens you will enjoy this book. As Susan requested, I am passing her message on in hopes that it helps others that have similar experiences but are afraid to talk about them.

Who knows?

Just because it’s beyond our thoughts, our comprehension, it doesn’t make it ‘not real’... Who really knows how many people deemed ‘mentally ill’ really are actually mentally?

I knew a MH nurse who worked at a MH hospital. One resident who had been locked away for over 25 years would sit talking to himself 24 hours a day, purely reciting numbers and otherwise non-communicative. One day, he gave her a piece of paper which she glanced at, folded and popped in her pocket. That evening at home whilst changing, she opened this hand written paper. There, written down row after row were the date of births of her, her daughter, her mum, her dad, her brother.... How did he know this? Mentally ill or psychic?

Dismiss nothing, question everything but more importantly, love oneself and love others!

Wow! I've never heard of anything similar and I watch a lot of UFO stuff. I haven't quite finished the book but the only thing that comes to mind are the preying mantis type aliens. They been seen but haven't done anything but scare people. We have an retired policeman that charts and writes and makes documentaries of missing people ("Missing 411," etc.) but they are mostly men. "Susan" doesn't say the races or skin color of the women so, who are they? There must be some documentation of missing women and children all over but those are eventually resolved as crimes. Not once have I heard anything similar in the US so I'm just can't quite believe it's real. I have heard an alien federation that is supposed to prevent the harmful aliens from interfering with humanity so who is telling the truth? Davies is a lovely writer and I did enjoy the book, whether fact or bad dreams.

This read was way out of my normal genre choices but the description picked my interest. I can honestly say I don’t believe everything presented in this story. It is proclaimed to be a true representation of one woman’s experience being haunted by aliens. Some of the story was alarming, graphic, and very descriptive of what she believes happened to her.
The writing was done well, the author does not try to sway our thoughts, he just writes it as he heard it and leaves the rest for us to make our own opinions. I appreciated that. If you believe in the body snatcher aliens then this book will be something you will enjoy.
I want to thank John Hunt Publishing Ltd and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book for my honest unbiased opinion. This one comes in with 4 stars.

3.5 rating. Strange goings on in beautiful Pembrokeshire. Having read other books by this author I can never make my mind up as to whether any of it is true or just a product of a lively imagination. But if even only a small part of this account is true, then it’s quite worrying, let alone frightening. “Susan” makes herself known to the author and relays a series of horrible, terrifying events. (Not recommended for faint hearts or people with nervous dispositions). She wants to send a strong message in the hope that others will listen and take heed. So the next time you look up to gaze at the stars on a clear night, don’t look too hard or too long as you never know what or who is watching you!! I was given this ARC by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Stunning!

Even if you do not believe in life beyond our blue marble, this boot allow you to share an uncomfortable few hours in the distraught presence of a young woman for whom an easy 'mental illness' determination could be formed. But the pause to ask oneself "what if" can bring the reader face to face with a dark terrifying narrative that turns everything you know or believe on its head. A must read for anyone with at least two fully functioning brain cells. By its end you will have awakened many many more brain cells and wondering who will benefit from your new considerations and thoughts?

Being a paranormal enthusiast and growing up with a curiosity for aliens, I just had to read this book. I will say that this book requires an open mind and it certainly isn’t for the *majority*.
It’s compelling, fear inducing and haunting. I struggled to put this book down. Respect to the author for keeping the story as accurate as possible and the interview style is effective.
I feel for Susan (if there is any truth to her claims) and can understand wanting anonymity - most people don’t have the patience to want to understand.
Worth a read if you have a deep interest in Ufology or the paranormal.

This is a supposedly true account of a woman in Pembrokeshire who has had interaction with aliens. The journalist she has invited to her home has to try and investigate her story to prove what she is telling him is the truth. She goes into long narratives about how she first became aware of the connection and how it is terrifying for her.
For those interested in people not from this world, this book should meet your expectations.
I thank the publishers and author for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this book. This is non-fiction, focussing on the story of "Susan". If you read it as non-fiction, then there are too many questions left unanswered. On the other hand, if you read it as fiction, then it's a fairly dull story. If the events are true, then it is a terrifying prospect - but I don't see how it can be, and nothing in this account has led me to have doubts on that. I guess I was hoping to be convinced.

My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley. This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own, unbiased, opinion.

When you start reading you might perchance think you have picked up the wrong book. Something by Stephen King, or H.G.Wells, or John Wyndham, or perhaps Arthur C. Clarke? But the difference will soon be clear to all: this is not a work of fiction.
Pembrokeshire, the most westerly county of Wales, has been a hotspot for UFO phenomena for many decades but the most terrifying story I have yet read is contained in this book. Susan, an ordinary young woman has witnessed the human race being harvested and culled. She is now running for her life.
Chillingly readable and utterly disturbing.

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. Perhaps I had hoped for a better understanding of something not easily understood. Then it was complicated even more by the person that was supposed to be abducted, doubting her own sanity. As much as I believe in "others", I kept questioning whether these accounts from Susan were true. It's understandable how such a horrendous occurrence could make one doubt their sanity, but that doubt somewhat weakens the believability, or makes you question it more.

WOW

This is a rollercoaster of a read. Whether or not you believe in Alien life, visitations, or craft, this is a must read. And it's scary. And it will make you think. Is this what happens to the Missing 411....? So many questions and not enough answers.

The author slowly brings us into the mind of his subject and then takes us into her reality. The reality of the jellyfish entities that prey on human-kind. Is this real? You decide. Either way, it's a terrifying story.
