Summary

A husband’s obsessive desire for a child leads to an unexpected manifestation of his yearning in a nightmarish short story about fatherhood dreams by New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill.

Willy and Marianne’s farmhouse in Maine has acres of meadow and fresh air, and a lonesome bridle path in the forest along which Willy daydreams and ambles. When he’s loaned a decrepit old baby stroller to cart his groceries home, the rickety squeak of the wheels comforts him. So do the sweet coos of a baby Willy knows can’t be real. Can it? In this twisted thicket, wishes come true—with a price.

Joe Hill’s The Pram is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

Creepy short story

I really enjoyed this creepy short story, and liked the way the author wrote about the theme within the book. A difficult subject that’s close to my heart.

Ending was a bit abrupt

An ok story. Lots of mystery and suspense built up throughout that culminates in a rather sudden climax that feels a bit blunt. Almost an “oh is that it?” kind of response.

The themes and metaphors are poignant, but the story itself doesn’t do anything too exciting.
