This short story asks the question "What would you do if you heard a child calling for help? Would you stop and call for help? What if a child is calling for help but his Mother is warning you against helping? In this short story, brother and sister, Cal and Becky, are driving when they hear a boy in the tall grass asking for help. He is lost and can't find his way out. Of course they want to help him, wouldn't you?
The boy's Mother is warning you against helpi This short story asks the question "What would you do if you heard a child calling for help? The boy's Mother is warning you against helping. She is warning her son to be quiet or "he" will hear you. Who is this "he" she is referring to. Wanting to help, the brother sister duo both enter the tall grass This short story can easily be read in one sitting and evokes a feeling of dread. Will they find the boy? Will they find each other as they were instantly separated?
More and more I am enjoying books that evoke that feeling of dread; ones that get your heart beating because you don't know what is going to happen next. You know something is going to happen Ahhhh, that anticipatory anxiety. I think Hill and King were successful in this. But then once the "reveal" if you can call it that occurred, I felt a little let down. This is where the short story lost a little of it's magic for me. Sometimes I think it is better to never see the source of terror is.
That is what makes it terrorizing. We use our own minds to create the "evil" that would scare us the most. Yes, that is my fan fiction take on this. In the Tall grass is still enjoyable.

A little boy screaming for help from beyond the tall Kansas grass. The two know right away they have to help the boy, but when they enter the grass they discover finding their way out is impossible. The first sentence grabbed me and by the time they heard the voice of little lost Tobin crying for help I was on the edge of my seat — where I firmly remained until the last page.
That being said, just as King knows the art of painting the horror story with a nice broad brush, Joe Hill knows how to get right to the point and not spend a second on unnecessary details.

The way it's listed on Amazon, it looks like you're going to get a novella-length story written by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill. It really kind of fucks with the story's rhythm and flow. Yes, you can open up the Look Inside sample and see the teasers listed in the TOC for this book, but who does that when purchasing something written by Stephen King? Also, when you've downloaded side-loaded, or whatever the book to your Kindle and open that puppy up, you are taken to the beginning of the book to start reading.
It takes a special effort to look at the table of contents. And why exactly would you look at the table of contents before you start reading what you think is a novella? Oh, wait, what about the story, the at most novelette , In the Tall Grass? It was pretty good. It started out genuinely scary and got rather disturbing and disgusting as it went along.

All very good for a horror story. BUT the ending was so goofy and filled with dopey, unrealistic characters, and, worst of all, it was redundant. We already knew what kind of story this was pretty early on. We didn't need a giant, tacky neon sign at the end to spell it all out for us. Get it from your local library's digital collection or wait for a price break.

The writing is vivid, filled with brutal simplicity that drives the horror home. I didn't feel all that attached to either Cal or Becky, but what Becky goes through in the later part of this short story would crush the heart of any parent.
No, not just crush. This is also the first collaboration of father and s "In the Tall Grass" is one of the most disturbing tales I've ever read. This is also the first collaboration of father and son where I was able to pinpoint which author wrote what sections.

I've come to know Hill's work well enough that I can catch certain sentence structures he commonly uses. I couldn't imagine writing such a piece with my son or daughter, but these two pulled it off. I will never forget this story. May 24, Sean Smart rated it it was amazing. A very impressive well written scary short story from father and son King. Oct 08, Wayne Barrett rated it really liked it Shelves: The King and his heir work well together.
I felt claustrophobic while reading this and if I ever hear a kid calling for help from a field like this one, they're screwed. Jan 17, Sumit RK rated it it was ok. This one is easily one of his most disturbing short stories you will read.
The story was tense and creepy but it has more about gore than horror. For those who do not know, Joe uses a pen name because he did not want to rely on his father's fame. Still, eventually it became known that Joe is Joseph Hillstrom, King's eldest son. This has been quite an experience. Becky and Cal are twins. They have done everything together and their parents think they will be connected for the rest of their lives.
But one day, Becky reveals to her brother that she is pregnant but she does not tell who's the father. So the twins decide to move to live with their uncles until the child is born. When they are on the road they hear the voice of a child, who seems to be lost and is asking for help. The voice seems to come from the side of the road. The twins decide to get off the car and help the child, in the middle of the tall grass. What could I expect from father and son writing an horror story together?
I have not read anything from Joe Hill, but I will do it soon. What I got is one of the most disturbing and asphyxiating short stories I've read in a long time. I mean, it's a story that catches you and maintains a constant tension. It is narrated in two voices and divided into small chapters. I expected suspense and horrifying stuff and I got it. I could not ask for less. Becky and Cal got into the tall grass to help a lost child. What else is hidden in this desolate landscape? How a story begins in apparent normality to become strange and horrifying is one of the things I like most about King's works.
It's capable of turning something normal into an horrible and hard to forget experience. And that's why it's worth reading. I loved to discover Joe Hill's work too. Stephen King y Joe Hill.

La voz parece provenir de una zona despoblada a un costado del camino. Lo que he sentido ha sido un suspenso y un horror escalofriante. Joe y Stephen, Stephen y Joe, padre e hijo. Buen trabajo en conjunto. Cal and Tobin then appear and wrap the baby in a shirt. Becky then passes out to "slurping sounds.
Cal and Tobin drag a half-conscious Becky to the rock and throw her on it.
An unspecified amount of time later, an RV full of hippies pulls into a parking lot across the street to have a barbeque and smoke marijuana. They hear Tobin's calls for help, and the whole group walks into the tall grass to help. Trust Stephen King and Joe Hill to find a way. They have transformed an otherwise innocuous Kansas field into a stage for some of the most disturbing horror fiction I have ever read.
