A great short story about a kid with many a tough break coming across a grisly scene on his way home after having been fired from his job

The Black Phone

A great novella about a kidnapped boy. Vastly superior to the movie version

Better Than Home

Baseball heavy short story about a kid with a neurologicial disorder

You Will Hear the Locust Sing

A novella about a boy who lives near a nuclear testing site that turns into an insect. This one didn't work too well for me.
