Mile 81 meets “N.” in this novella collaboration between Stephen King and Joe Hill.
As USA TODAY said of Stephen King’s Mile 81: “Park and scream. Could there be any better place to set a horror story than an abandoned rest stop?” 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.

Meh
The story had promise, but just didn’t quite do it for me. Much too short.
Extremely Short Book - Better Movie
The book was extremely short around 2 hours max. Honestly if I hadn’t watched the movie I would be so confused as to what’s happening. The book dosen’t do well in setting the scene jumping from reality to other realities without notice. I’m very sad that the book was short there’s so much potential that went to waste I hope they make a origin story that’s long like typical Stephen king books.
Only an Hour and 45 mins
I worship King and Hill, but this isn’t worth the 10 bucks. Don’t get me wrong, I love wasting money. I’m a single mother of none and every day is a rainy day. I went back and forth over buying this, but ultimately, the narration performance didn’t spark a purchase from me. I ended up reading it with my eyes like a goddamn troglodyte. A TROG!!!
I’d pay 10 bucks if it were done by Jim Dale or a reincarnated Vincent Price. Mama Cass? Stevie Nicks? The dude that played Dexter....I hear his performance of Pet Sematary was to die for. I am one of those posers who pulled the trigger on this story because it was getting the Netflix treatment. It was okay, but I recommend Mile 81 over this. I’m excited to see how this translates to the screen - Sometimes really short stories work better for film adaptations.
I guess one should buy it if you are a completionist of the king library. (I’m a wannabe completionist - I love listening to almost any King when I drive), but come on . You make so much money everywhere else, don’t gouge king’s Constant Readers. We’ve been through enough already.
