The Pram

by Betty Woodcock

[chymerra]

What a creepy book.

Carrie is excitedly awaiting the birth of her 1st grandchild. As a gift to her daughter and son in law, she buys a second hand pram. Then weird things start happening. First she thinks she sees a baby in the pram and then she is sure of it.

Freaked out, she goes to return the pram at the 2nd hand store....only to find that it isn't there. Then her daughter gives birth early and uses the pram. What happens after the baby's birth and for a few months after makes Carrie think that she is loosing her mind.

I will warn you, this book is very English. There were some sections that I had to reread and actually Google (like "eleveness") to find out the meaning. Also, the book touches upon some serious subjects (abortion, mental illness to name two). But this only adds to the creepiness of the book.

Will I read this book again? Probably not. But I did like it.

Will I reccomend this book to family and friends? Maybe. Depends on if they like English horror stories.
