I'd been wanting to check this one out for a long time but did not have an E reader. Luckily that has changed. So I was pulled in immediately. And this is the type of King that I love.. I kind of felt like I was watching an episode of the twilight zone. Remember that wonderful show? I loved it as a kid. Used to watch it all the time. And this was like going back in time. So the story, short as it was, was really interesting.

And intense. I have no quibbles with it but I guess I really wish it had been even 10 or 20 pages longer. It is really kind of over in the blink of an eye. I wanted more "Twilight Zone" effect. But as short as it was it really leaves a mark.

I will not be forgetting this anytime soon. I am not, nor will I ever be, a Baseball fan but I really do not think you have to be to get into this story.

And it is awesome that such a short book could be that thought provoking AND be so rich in atmosphere and have such wonderful characterizations. I mean.. But it was a fun read.

Recommended to those who like eerie little stories. View all 11 comments. Apr 12, Peter rated it really liked it Shelves: horror. Deans wife has died and he has moved on to Florida. Alone at home he turns to watching baseball games. All of a sudden long dead people appear among the audience. What is going on here? Is Dean still alive? You can watch the main stages of a life during a baseball game. Interesting story with lots of baseball and eerie moments when people who must be long gone appear in the audience.

You look inside the mind of the main character and come to think about his life. There are parallels to the liv Deans wife has died and he has moved on to Florida. There are parallels to the lives of every single one of us.

So it is a book of importance. Liked it in a way. View all 5 comments. Shelves: reads , shorts , stephen-king. I almost did not read this book because of baseball. My feeble attempts at garnering enthusiasm Hey, it's skiing and shooting! See below. The best approximation of abovementioned facial expression that internet could provide.

The greatness of Ole Einar Bjoerndalen is clearly not for everyone. But then I thought - hey, it's Stephen King writing about baseball, and that combo somehow worked amazingly for me in The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon , and I should be open-minded, and why the hell not?

I needn't have worried. Baseball is just a backdrop in this very short story and could have been replaced by any sport that has major televised coverage.

Even though ice dancing as a backdrop may have not been quite appropriate for the tone King is trying to set. This story for Stephen King's Constant Readers is nothing new - but there's nothing bad about that. It's more psychological than horror, as we came to expect from Uncle Stevie. It has trademark brilliant narrative voice slowly creating an uneasy atmosphere - because King is excellent at believable and relatable narration that makes you feel that you're siting around a campfire listening to a bit of carefully crafted spookiness.

The ending is actually a bit subdued as far as King goes, but manages to hold its own. His loneliness and sense of loss and - of course - inner ugly monsters lurking under the seemingly ordinary shell. As he watches a parade of people from his life on the TV screen - those people all dead, by the way - and is reminded of the ugliness that was always present in his life, you get a nagging feeling that despite superficial similarities, there will be no saccharine-sweet ending of A Christmas Carol , nossir.

All in all, it was an enjoyable short read. Bring on more baseball stories! Ok, I may be kidding here, I'm not yet ready for that. Not amazing, but good. View all 13 comments. Mar 14, Delee rated it liked it Shelves: own , reviewed , short-stories. The Blue Jays were my team. My mom and my brother were fans as well- and in baseball we formed a bond.

Watching the games on T. V and seeing the games up close and personal in Toronto- warm beer and crappy hot dogs never tasted soooooooo good. But then my brother moved to Atlanta and became a Braves fan, and I moved out of the Toronto area, where Blue Jays fans were hard to come by Hmmm I don't know- but the nice thing about e-book singles is they don't cost a lot, and they are over before you know it- so really there is not a lot to lose in trying Evers life now consists of learning to cook for himself, reading thrillers and watching baseball- to distract himself from the sudden absence of his wife.

One night while watching the Rays take on the Mariners- he sees a familiar face in the crowd- The face of his old childhood dentist- who couldn't possibly be alive. The next night another face appears, and a pattern starts to take shape- as people from Evers past keep on coming. V show- This is Your Life and a little of A Christmas Carol- with only the ghosts of the past streaming in to remind Dean the way he treated some of his loved ones and acquaintances.

An entertaining story for fans of King and O'Nan. I love when that happens! View all 17 comments. Aug 22, Trudi rated it liked it Shelves: fantastical-speculative , short-stories , , stephen-king , on-my-kobo. This is good my fellow Constant Readers, just not I can't speak of O'Nan's work, but for King this is a fairly familiar and predictable story idea. The execution is nice , the prose tight and strong, but unlike countless other times in my life, he just didn't blow my skirt up with this short novella.

Still, it's always such a joy to slip into King's world, his rhythmic use of language, his crystalline images and always effective creation of dread and unease. It's perhaps morbid of me to co This is good my fellow Constant Readers, just not It's perhaps morbid of me to consider that I have way less unread King ahead of me than behind me.

In that context, every new thing is precious in its own way, even this simple story about love of the game baseball that is and the sharp regrets that come with the measure of a full life.

A short e-read about loss, death and a look back on how you have treated people in your life that will definitely make you think about the past.

The baseball setting made it more interesting for me. Aug 30, Matt rated it really liked it. Stephen King's short story leaves you wondering from page 1 and shaking your head by the end, as he recounts a tale that sets America's pastime on its head, or at least its fans. When our main character sees long-ago friends and family on screen while watching 'the ball game', no one knows what to expect. Not exactly a mystery, a horror, or much of anything other than fiction, King entices the reader with m Stephen King's short story leaves you wondering from page 1 and shaking your head by the end, as he recounts a tale that sets America's pastime on its head, or at least its fans.

Not exactly a mystery, a horror, or much of anything other than fiction, King entices the reader with much baseball lingo and a backstory that rings true for many retired folks. Well worth the 30 min read and full of interesting character foundation, though it need not go anywhere, save for another trip to the Diamond. I will never be able to watch a baseball game again without thinking about this story! Sep 07, Lou rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery-thriller , horror , supernatural.

I felt i was amidst a scrooge tale of sorts, with a revisiting of the protagonists ills but the circumstances prove to be even grimmer with a stephen king twist on a story that has the main protagonist as an average guy whose a avid baseball fan. Was shorter than i desired but a nice little supernatural baseball story.
