- On an isolated family farm, a young boy with vast mental powers, but lacking emotional development, holds his terrified family in thrall to his every juvenile wish.
- In a small farming community in Ohio, a young boy by the name of Anthony Fremont terrorizes those around him. Anthony has the ability to command anything he wants simply by thought. The community is cut off from the outside world and the boy insists that those around him think only pleasant thoughts, and if they don't, he eliminates them. Everyone walks in fear of the lad who ably demonstrates what he's prepared to do at a small party in his home.—garykmcd
- The town of Peaksville, Ohio, is isolated from the rest of the world and has no electricity or cars. The reason is a monster, the six-year-old boy Anthony Fremont that has powerful mental powers. He also sends people that he does not like to a mysterious cornfield and is capable to read minds.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In the great state of Ohio, there is a rural and small town which calls Peaksville. It has to because most of the world is unaware it even exists. And Peaksville itself is without many occupants or any signs of technology from at least the 18th century.
There are no working automobiles or machines of any kind. Little Anthony is praised to high heaven and back for all his doings, no matter how wrong or outright criminal. Even animals aren't safe from his wrath. When numerous dogs bark at him judgingly, Anthony sends them out to the cornfield.... and under it, where they shall never be heard from again...
Dan is at a breaking point when he is forbidden by little Anthony to play his own record on his own birthday. Tired of the constant strain of having to always keep himself in check--and do whatever Anthony wants at every hour, Dan has a few too many to drink. And the booze finally gets him to unravel completely. He gets up and starts ranting. No one needs telepathic powers to know what Dan's thinking. He tells them all in plain clear English.
And at the end of his patience and tolerance for life in little Anthony's world, he begins singing as a madman in tears. It's both painful and heartbreaking.
This is the last of the whiskey in the entire town. They'll be "sent away" if they dare so much as try to go against what Anthony wants.
"Somebody end this, now! Won't someone take a lamp or a bottle to his skull and end this?!" But no one does. Apparently, the strain the child has put on all of them isn't quite yet a fate worse than death. Only our hero Dan seems to have worked up the nerve to be willing to put an end to all this.
And inevitably, Anthony sends him away just like the others. To the Cornfield. Under it... And just then... right outside, out there on the cornfield... Christmas comes a little early this year. It's snowing. Real hard.
Hard enough to do some serious damage to the crops. Is there anything more dangerous... than a spoiled, selfish, stuck-up little brat who always gets his way?
