Representaion In Pursuance Of Books In the Tall Grass
Mile 81 meets N. in this e-book collaboration between Stephen King and Joe Hill.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 and Joe Hill can deliver.
In the Tall Grass was originally published in two parts in the June/July and August 2012 issues of Esquire magazine. This is their second collaboration since the novella Throttle, published in 2009.

Stephen King has a knack of writing horror stories set at the most unlikeliest of places and around the most unlikeliest of things/events. This one is easily one of his most disturbing short stories you will read. The story was tense and creepy but it has more about gore than horror. Not for everyone.4.5Great collaboration between father and son. The King and his heir work well together.This was like The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon meets The Children of the Corn. I felt claustrophobic while reading this and if I ever hear a kid calling for help from a field like this one, they're screwed.
The moral of this story... do not help people you hear screaming from tall grass. Actually, just dont help people, periodt.This one is quick, stressful, and ambiguous. K bye.

I am a BIG fan of Stephen King, but not so much Joe Hill (yet) having only read two of his novels. I am struggling with a rating on this short horror story perhaps bc I just finished reading POE'S shorts The Pit and the Pendulum:, The Masque of the Red Death, and the really short The Black Cat (which were all GREAT by the way) so this one just kind of fell short (no pun intended) for me.The book summary and the beginning did draw me in......the deserted rest stop, the abandoned cars, and the
Impeccable short story! Still waiting for a full length book from King and Hill! That would be phenomenal!
Well, I decided to read this novella before watching the Netflix adaptation. This is not a new short story. It was originally published in two parts in the June/July and August 2012 issues of Esquire magazine.I have never heard of it before Netflix.This short horror story is very, very vivid, intense and gory.And extremely well written (and this is not a surprise, after all this is uncle Stevie at his best and showing off his talented son).I was engaged from the beginning.I heard bad reviews of
*3.5/5*Having already seen the movie, this was definitely easier to follow. However, I liked the elements that were added in the movie adaptation, and kind of wish they had been included in the original story. Im a sucker for mind bending/time travel-y stuff and I really dug that aspect of the movie. Nonetheless, still a very well written, creepy story. I can tell ya, I wont be going into any tall grass anytime soon!
