Willy and Marianne wanted a child, but hope has slipped away. Their quiet farmhouse in Maine feels emptier with every passing year, until a battered old baby carriage enters Willy’s life. Loaned as nothing more than a grocery hauler, the pram soon becomes something far more disturbing. The creak of its wheels soothes him. The coos from inside are sweet, impossible, and terrifying.
Alone on a forest path, Willy begins to wonder whether grief has broken him or whether the pram has brought him exactly what he craved. But some wishes come true at a terrible cost.
Joe Hill’s The Pram, part of the Creature Feature collection, is a nightmarish tale of yearning, madness, and horror that lingers long after the last page.
