Publisher Description
In the emotional aftermath of her baby's sudden death, Em starts running. Soon she runs from her husband, to the airport, down to the Florida Gulf and out to the loneliest stretch of Vermillion Key, where her father has offered the use of a conch shack he has kept there for years. Em keeps up her running -- barefoot on the beach, sneakers on the road -- and sees virtually no one. This is doing her all kinds of good, until one day she makes the mistake of looking into the driveway of a man named Pickering. Pickering also enjoys the privacy of Vermillion Key, but the young women he brings there suffer the consequences. Will Em be next?
Customer Reviews
Great short story, but the price?
This is a very good and gory story written by the King of Horror. I read through it quicky as the serial books of The Green Mile. My only problem is paying $12.95 to have someone read it to me, when it's so short. It was included in last year issue of Esquire that runs for half the price.
I would understand a full novel or stories like "Four Past Midnight" and "Different Seasons", where the stories were longer than eighty pages. So like I said great story, but the price is too much.
stephen king
another great job by stephen king. It dragged me in by my head first. very suspenceful and exciting. I was right there with stephen king as he told this horrow story.
Thorougly Enjoyed!
If you're a Stephen King fan and you want this story, you should get it. However, I think the price is a bit steep. I came across this story in Esquire magazine last June (2007). For free. Seriously, folks, track it down. It's a great story, but not worth the price here.
