About this listen

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.

all the time I was reading this I just felt like it had borrowed every trope from every other horror story I had ever read.
it held no great surprises and while the story was ok, it never felt particularly believable. I didn't really care about any of the characters and it never felt scary.
kept reminding me of the Stephen King short story Snakes, which I thought was much more interesting.

felt cliched
