About this listen
Ruined by scandal, Dennis Lange is hoping for a comeback. Selling the story of a cursed tree could make his future—if it doesn’t kill him—in this monstrous short story from New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill.
Dennis awakens something evil when he removes a decades-old jackknife from the trunk of a gnarled old sycamore. Once pinned in place—now thoughtlessly freed—the tree returns to its roots. An act of vigilante justice took place under its boughs long ago. But its taste for blood has only grown stronger…
Joe Hill’s Jackknife is part of The Shivers, a collection of haunting stories that reveal the otherworldly terrors all around us. Once you know, there’s no going back. Read or listen to each story in one unsettling sitting.

Dark and Sinister Tree!
This was such a great story!! Ridiculously creepy and unsettling, with fantastic metaphorical prose- I really love Joe Hill’s writing style! It’s so witty and engaging, but also beautiful. We follow Dennis, a disgraced professor who is living in an Airbnb surrounded by trees. One day, whilst taking the trail that passes through them, he notices a very unusual tree that has a jackknife stuck in the side of it. I don’t want to give too much away because I think it’s best to go into this story not knowing much about it. If you love the idea of an ancient, creepy, sinister tree and like forest/woodland/isolated settings in horror stories then definitely check this one out! The narrator performed the story really well too.
