    About this audiobook

    John Finney is in trouble. The kidnapper locked him in a basement, a place stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children.

    With him in his subterranean cell is an antique phone, long since disconnected...but which rings at night, anyway, with calls from the dead.

    A HarperAudio production.

      That was pretty good for being a short story ….
    • 5/5
      Was interesting to listen to after seeing the movie. I really like how they used the simple basis of this short story for such a good movie with Ethan Hawke. If you enjoyed this short story definitely go see the movie! I have enjoyed all of Joe Hill's works, definitely talented just like his father!
