Scheherazade’s Typewriter Audiobook Summary
Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She’s also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. . . .
Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn’t easy to make friends when you’re the only inflatable boy in town. . . .
Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now he’s an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .
John Finney is locked in a basement that’s stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

** spoiler alert ** It’s very clear to see what Joe Hill was going for here and he pulled it off perfectly.A young girl’s father dies, her father used to write novels in the basement. After his death, the typewriter continues to move of its own accord and produce stories in her fathers style. The young girl tends to the typewriter, ensuring it has paper and that the words will be seen, maybe one day even published. The typewriter breaks one day and after sending it for repairs, the machine never moves of its own volition again. The young girl collects the printed pages together into an anthology of horror stories. A publisher shows interest and here endeth the lesson.Presumably the anthology of stories has the title of “20th Century Ghosts”. Actually not even presumably, it doesn’t take a genius to guess that this is exactly the point of the story. Furthermore I think Joe has weaved some of this short story with elements from his life growing up with a famous author for a father. The moment when the little girl asks her father, who is typing in the basement, “Why are you working so late?” and his response “I can’t sleep until I’ve written”. This feels like it MUST have happened to the author himself, just replace “little girl” with Joe and “father” with “my dad Stephen King”. This was an 8 minute audiobook. How he packed a sense of nostalgia, love and loss into such a low word count is the perfect proof that he has inherited, from his father, an undeniably magical ability to spin a good yarn. Delightful.

Downloaded from my public library, this story was found in a fun, somewhat hidden place. I'm not going to tell you where, maybe you'll run across it. I don't understand the comments in the other reviews, the story DOES have a concept, and an end.I thought it was good.
