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.

"Not as meaty as I had hoped, but a creepy story nonetheless. The best elements are wisely only hinted at, the history of the black rock and the implications of the local populace. Predictable, fun, queasy, breezy."

    " Since I read and like both King and Hill, I really wanted to like this. It was okay, well read, appropriately gross and horrific. Reminded me of The Ruins by Scott Smith, which I also wanted to like but just didn't. Similar premise. All the elements were there in this novella and it's a great idea to have them co-write--but it's not as good as the best from either. "

    " Another great short story by Stephen King. This review may contain spoilers. A brother and sister take a road trip and hear someone asking for help. Little do they know what awaits them in the grass. "

    " Pretty good little tale. Dense, claustrophobic action; and a gross out scene worth a bad dream or two. I get the feeling that young Mr Hill is a good influence on his dad. "

    " A scary and gruesome story - which for me at least went a little off track toward the end. A creepy and imaginative story, though. "

    " This is my second Joe Hill book, and I think that is enough for a lifetime. I honestly didn't believe this short story could end so miserably. Most horrors I read are like a scary ride that I read and then say... okay lets go again, but this was disturbing and such a let down. "

    " Brilliantly dark, gory and scary. Definitely a King story though was hard spotting any Hill in the mix. Nice extra touch of having excerpts from Dr. Sleep and NOS4R2 at the end. "
