The Pram by Joe Hill is an interesting story with a familiar but engaging storyline. While the plot ultimately becomes predictable, it’s refreshing to see the husband as the protagonist, while the wife remains blissfully unaware of the darker events unfolding. This story makes for a good, quick read during spooky season or as a campfire tale, perfect for a bit of eerie entertainment.

I resented Willy's resentment towards his wife, Marianne.
and although it was interesting to see how grief of losing a child not yet born could be experienced by the non-carrying parent, I just couldn't understand his hate (?) towards his wife.
the end was gory, but somewhat fitting.

the writing felt somewhat pretentious but overall very engaging and I was directly transported into the story which I really liked.

This was decently written but was also actively horrific and I’m physically nauseous after reading it. I’m not usually particularly squeamish or bothered by gory things, but this is very much a nope for me, thanks.

This is what happens when you don't deal with your grief or your anger.

I thought overall the idea of a haunted Pram was really cool and interesting, and the gore scenes were well described, I think this one was just a bit to slowly pace for me, I kind of wanted a bit more edge to it.
