Eerie, but not necessarily for the right reasons.
The Pram had an intriguing concept - a brief horror story focusing on miscarriage, but from the father's point of view. It maintained a good sense of timing and atmosphere. However, I wasn't completely satisfied with the direction the story took in the end, and certain parts seemed more like random thoughts from the author, rather than deliberate plot elements.
