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.
