The Pram

This is story 1 of Amazon's short story collection Creature Feature. I love that these releases include the kindle and the audible version for each. 
As this is the first story, I figured Hill had to have written a pretty stellar jumping off point for the collection, and I wasn't wrong. This is a strong short story, and although undoubtedly horror, it really focuses much more on grief and loss than anything else for most of it, turning to terrifying horrors only at the end. The main character is grasping at straws in his denial. 
It's interesting that the story mentions COVID, but doesn't go into it. The character simply had it, losing his sense of smell, and therefore he cannot smell the festering pram. 
Very atmospheric and psychological, the ability to take readers through a journey in such a short amount of time is something I'd love to learn. Personally a 4/5*.
