Typical Steven King perfection. I enjoyed the book a great deal. You can’t go wrong with Steven Kings books. The narrator at the beginning, though made me crazy! Long pauses mingled with loud inhales and very slow narration left me considering putting the book down. It was as if she were reading to a kindergarten class. It got better after the first story and was quite good towards the end.

Odd but good!

1922 and Big Driver are decent stories, but the other two are mediocre. I\'m not a fan of short stories, or novellas so that probably impacts my rating of this book to a degree. Although I don\'t like them, I do listen to them quite often. The problem is that they usually feel shallow, move too fast, lack proper build up and character development and are generally just not fleshed out enough to be very plausible or entertaining. These stories suffer from many of these issues. It\'s worth a quick read if you grab the hardback or paperback, but don\'t bother with the audiobook. The male narrator is the worst. He talks like an automated apple program. Seriously, just listen to the sample chapter of 1922. He talks about his character murdering his wife as if he were picking up some bread and milk at the grocery store. It\'s ridiculous. The female narrator is really no better, as she reads as if she were presenting a pressure cooker on the Home Shopping Network.

stick with it definitely a wild stretch of the range of Stephen king

Great stories, but Mrs Hect was horrible! Worst narrator I've heard. She keeps the same robotic over positive tone even when describing horrible things.

I loved all the stories, they were thought provoking and scary..Wasson does a fine job with 1922 and Fair Extension however Hecht is hands down the worst narrator I have ever heard....I would rather swallow glass than listen to her. I will NEVER purchase another book that she reads....

Holy crap, Big Driver is the WORST King story I've ever read. I agree with the other reviews, especially lorin's, that the narrator of it is absolutely horrid but the story itself also sucks.
