That means she was 14 for Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989. The timeline is coherent: Stella turned 7 just before in October 1982, so she was born in 1975. That seems to have been Uncle Bob himself, in some strange way, and Stella ends the story sinking into his grave. There’s an extra, gruesome, element in that Uncle Bob kept talking about the boy who was buried in the hill and then dug up still alive. The visit to Uncle Bob’s house seems to push her over the edge, to where she can’t even remember where she lives and if she has a job. It’s one of the worst parts of Stella-how fake she is-and we see various characters in the story turn cold to her once they realize she’s lied to them. But her curse is that she makes up who she is and doesn’t remember the real Stella. Stella is stunned to learn she was on the show, since she doesn’t remember it. It gradually starts to look as though Uncle Bob’s stories actually affected the real lives of the children on his show. This is a very odd story, and Stella is not that easy to like, or care about.Review: 2020.327 ( A Word for Authors) Pro: Stella’s visit home starts off simply enough with cleaning Denny’s house, but the discovery of The Uncle Bob Show introduces an element of horror-literally, in the sense that “Uncle Bob” told horror stories on the air. She starts digging for more information about the show and its very odd host, and the more she digs, the creepier it gets. She's more creeped out when she goes back to her parents' house, and they remember it, too. It's not your normal Saturday morning kids' show, and Stella is creeped out. The tapes of those episodes are among the "treasures" Marco has uncovered so far, and he starts playing them.
His brother, Denny, was on it, more than once. When she asks her friend, Marco, if he remembers a Saturday morning kids' show called The Uncle Bob Show, she expects him to say he doesn't, because she made it up.īut he does remember it. One thing we need to know about Stella is that she has a habit of making up lies, not for any particular reason, but simply to see if people believe her. He was a serious hoarder, and Stella is glad she only committed to one day of the exhausting and disturbing experience.
Stella, while home on a visit after years away from her hometown, attends the funeral of an old friend's older brother, and agrees to help him clean out the brother's house.
