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.

Spooky story with 14 Short chapters

A haunted pram and traumatic memories of an event melt into real life and halt the healing of a bereaved couple. William and Marianne suffer a devastating event and develop an attachment to a pram covered in black mould and what used to be a home for racoons. Willy begins to hear phantom cries and see the shadows of tiny fingers reaching out from the carriage. At first unnerving to him but as the story goes along he yearns to hear them to fill the void of hurt from the trauma. The pram soon proves to be something much more sinister than the black mould for the two.

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.
