Mile 81 meets “N” in this collaboration between Stephen King and Joe Hill, now available from Simon & Schuster Audio.
As USA TODAY said of Stephen King’s Mile 81: “Park and scream. Could there be any better place to set a horror story than an abandoned rest stop?” In the Tall Grass begins with a sister and brother who pull off to the side of the road after hearing a young boy crying for help from beyond the tall grass. Within minutes they are disoriented, in deeper than seems possible, and they’ve lost one another. The boy’s cries are more and more desperate. What follows is a terrifying, entertaining, and masterfully told tale, as only Stephen King can deliver.
Readable but not my favorite King/Hill collaboration “In the Tall Grass” was different than other King or Hill stories I’ve read. Character development, which I look forward to in their horror stories, was almost non-existent.Yes, the story was a little creepy, in a corn maze Halloweenish sort of way and there was some blood and guts thrown in but this story is not one of King’s or Hill’s best. I’m glad I read it just so I can say I did but I won’t reread it.What I REALLY enjoyed were the excerpts from both authors…
In The Tall Grass Okay? I bought the book October 9th, the release date, I could not wait. I read a couple reviews that said the book was terrible. I totally disagree. The book was great. I think Mr. Hill did most of the writing in the story just by the feel of the read. Also people were saying how gross and disgusting it was, I didn’t personally think that, i’ve read worse. Mr. King and Mr. Hill great job.I did though get confused by the point of view changes but I thought that was a very nice…
Exactly What To Expect From King/Hill My wife and I listened to the audiobook format of this novella while driving home from visiting family Christmas night. Before I get into the book itself, I would like to say that I enjoyed Stephen Lang’s reading of the story and would be interested in hearing more of his audiobook work.One of the traits I enjoy about Stephen King’s writing is that he writes very compelling characters. They’re very much human beings, some good, some bad, all with their faults and personality quirks…
