The Pram

Creature Feature Collection

De: Joe Hill

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

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.

Gory & Predictable-Excellent Narration

I had heard of the author, but this was the first story of his I had read. I had the ending figured out by the time the couple had moved in. I've read too many Preston and Child books so it is very difficult to surprise me. It was well written and very gory. Did stop too soon and some ends not tied up. With this book I have now read the entire series. My favorite was the ankle biter. Far spookier without all the gore and a more frightening ending. My favorite Amazon Original series remains the two seasons of Nameless. Narration was excellent.

Sufficiently horrifying

I love Joe Hill! but whyyy!? I'm traumatized by his art! it started with In The Tall Grass. IYKYK
thank you Joe Hill!!!

WOW

This short story kept me intrigued. Very well wrote and left you hanging just enough to want more.

Great length for commute to/from work!

I loved this. Is it a cult story or a supernatural story? I won’t say except that it’s really creepy, and got creepier and more gory as the story progressed. This story contains horror connected to grief, which just hits hard. I always love Joe Hill’s work and this was a lot of fun to read, especially coming up on the Halloween season. I sort of wish it was longer-I’d love to know more about the Sin Planters.

The nice, short length at just 1:31 meant it was easy for me to start and finish while commuting. Narrator Robert Petkoff did a great job💯

I’ve been looking forward to this Creature Feature collection on Amazon & Audible for ages. So glad it’s finally available!

Demons never die

I got a recommendation on this book, and I’m absolutely in love with it. This was a great book! I never do a “one sitting reading”, but The Exorcist House had a hold on me. The terror! Love it!

Eerily Entertaining

Trigger Warning - Talks of miscarriage

Quick, entertaining, and perfect for a quick listen. Creeps you out in just the right way.

Grief led to gore

I’d heard some less than stellar things about this one, but I actually really love it! It’s a tour de force on grief and evil influences, but I’d love to see this become an entire novel with more flesh on its bones.

good short story

so excited to get some new Joe Hill especially for Halloween! Interesting storyline. love the creature feature.

Fantastic Short Story!

Perfect timing for Halloween and a quick spooky tale to start the season. Only complaint is the abrupt end, but understand it’s a short story that’s not supposed to have a tidy HEA.

Great little horror story

Joe Hill is one of my favorites. He’s never disappointed me. This little ditty is perfect for the Halloween season. It’s good horror, but also a story that I feel has something to say emotionally. I liked it. Hell, listen to it and form your own opinion if you want to know what it’s like enough to scroll through all these reviews.
