Review:
This is part of Amazon's Original Creature Feature Collection form 2023.
I thought this was going to be some book about the husband going off the deep end & doing something stupid once he realized he too could be angry about his wife's miscarriage. And it was. I just didn't realize that the stupid thing was not of his doing until the end. He didn't intend to nurture a child that way. Not what I was expecting at all, despite the clues through out the story.
Goodreads Description:
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.
