Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s terrifying novella about a town engulfed in a dense, mysterious mist—as humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction—now available as a stand-alone edition.

David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton head to the local grocery store to replenish supplies following a freak storm. Once there, they and other local citizens are trapped by a strange mist that has enveloped the town and in which strange creatures are lurking. As the mist takes its toll on the nerves of those trapped in the store, a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody begins to play on their fears to convince them that this is God’s vengeance for their sins and that a sacrifice must be made and two groups—those for and those against—are aligned. When it is realized that staying in the store may prove fatal, a small group including the Draytons, store employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller attempt to make their escape. They find that what’s “out there” may be worse than what they left behind.

Originally published in King's acclaimed collection, Skeleton Crew, this exhilarating novella proves why Stephen King is a master storyteller in short form.

Very good!

Book was good. But the adultery theme seemed unnecessary-- why include that? Narrator did the voices well. Open ending is appreciated. It would have been more convenient with a TABLE OF CONTENTS which includes chapter numbers, chapter names and at which Minute/Second-Point one can find the beginnings of these chapters. Such a table of contents would be useful for most of the books here on AudioBooks.com

Mr. King always delivers a suspenseful and intriguing story. Excellent narration!!

I think this story is very terrifying because of the claustrophobia that it evokes. I also read somewhere that the real horror story is that Mrs. Carmody is 100% correct. Interesting I would say that this is an excellent short story with the only criticism being that there was too much time spent describing the people and their relationships. It cost for too much downtime for a novella; if it were a novel that would be different. But once the action started it was terrifying. I won't comment on the ending, but suffice it to say since I watch the movie before reading the novella, I was a bit let down. All in all an excellent read. Will Patton is a fantastic narrator. He has narrated quite a few books that I've read, mainly for Stephen King, and his voice and delivery are absolutely perfect. I could listen to him read the phone book.

meh. guess I wasnt quick enough to really catch what the ending meant and had to look it up. overall just a mediocre story by Stephen king imo. but a great nod for Lovecraft fans.
