About this listen

In this chilling story from New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry, a young paperboy discovers that a random act of kindness may have greater consequences - especially as night falls in Pine Deep.

Very well-narrated and reminiscent of a Stephen King story in its creepiness.

Highly recommended.

Interesting story

a very dark short story, with light supernatural elements. works outside of the Pine universe as well. definitely atmospheric, and creepy.
creepy characters, heavy atmosphere, an almost imperceptible transition between a dark reality and the supernatural. Maberry has nicely written modern horror short stories, often pulling at urban myths.
i quite like this condensed format for horror writing, where the focus is placed less on the horror and suspense, but on the overall message.
