Blockade Billy

Stephen King

3.35 AVERAGE


Perfect little story to read as Spring Training is under way. I enjoyed reading with the only fault being it's too short. And Morality was a good one too.

Quick, fairly light read, loved the style it was written in as if Stephen king was just sitting down with the man being interviewed

I’m no fan of baseball, but this was gripping. It keeps a good pace, and has a chilling close.

I liked Blockade Billy well enough - but I'm not a baseball fan, so large potions of it either didn't make sense to me or were boring. I REALLY liked the short story Morality at the end.

I did not expect to enjoy a horror baseball novella as much as I did, but here we are.
