I can’t really say any more because it’s a very short novella and anything more would give the entire story away. The young man was an excellent baseball player, but after he joined them, increasingly disturbing things started to happen on and off the field. Short of a catcher, the team managed to get hold of William “Blockade Billy” Blakely, who came in to help them out. The story is a narration by an ageing ex-baseball player (to Stephen King) of an incident that occurred when he was playing for the New Jersey Titans baseball team in 1957.
This is perhaps not the best book to start with if you’re embarking on a journey of reading Stephen King. So to that end, I sought out the very slim volume of Blockade Billy, which was put out in early 2010, after King’s rather massive Under The Dome. I said earlier on this blog that I’ve been trying to read some more Stephen King and I thought that what I would do is go back to the beginning of his published work, but also try and stay on top of his published work from 2010 onwards.
