Rainy Season is a short horror story by Stephen King, first published in an anthology titled Midnight Graffiti, and later included in King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes collection.

Plot

A young husband and wife on summer vacation rent a house in a small town called Willow, Maine, only to be warned repeatedly (if vaguely) to leave by the local inhabitants. They do not comply and, having purchased groceries, return to the house. They never learn that as a price for prosperity of Willow, every seven years a husband and wife will come there from outside and will stay, despite protests, in time for the rainy season. When the "rain" starts, they do learn what happens every seven years, that man-eating frogs rain down upon the town..
