Summary
In the emotional aftermath of her baby's sudden death, Em starts running. Soon she runs from her husband, to the airport, down to the Florida Gulf, and out to the loneliest stretch of Vermillion Key, where her father has offered the use of a conch shack he has kept there for years.
Em keeps up her running - barefoot on the beach, sneakers on the road - and sees virtually no one. This is doing her all kinds of good, until one day, she makes the mistake of looking into the driveway of a man named Pickering.
Pickering also enjoys the privacy of Vermillion Key, but the young women he brings there suffer the consequences. Will Em be next?

Short but worth the credit...
A good chilling read. Quite tense at times. Would make a good film too.

Had me Gripped!
Wow! That was a rollercoaster of a story to listen to. I hadn't realised this was a Stephen King Short story, not that it made any difference to my listening quality. The narration was brilliant by Mare Winningham, who brought the suspense scarily to life with her brilliant reading. I'd definitely recommend this to other readers if you want a short sharp thrill!😁

Well the Gingerbread Girl is another fantastic and riveting short story from Stephen King. I was held spellbound from start to finish. Very good indeed and I hope they keep coming.

Not worth the credit
2 hour book, okay story, and narration good, but not worth a whole credit I think.

Short but interesting
As one of Stephen Kings ‘constant readers’, I was very pleased to find this book.
I found it enjoyable, but too short, I could of happily listened to how her story continued.
I’d recommend this story to King fans, or anyone, actually 🙃
