About this audiobook
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen Kingâs terrifying novella about a town engulfed in a dense, mysterious mist as humanity makes its last stand against unholy destructionâoriginally published in the acclaimed short story collection Skeleton Crew and made into a TV series, as well as a feature film starring Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden.
In the wake of a summer storm, terror descends...David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton join dozens of others and head to the local grocery store to replenish supplies following a freak storm. Once there, they become trapped by a strange mist that has enveloped the town. As the confinement takes its toll on their nerves, a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody, begins to play on their fears to convince them that this is Godâs vengeance for their sins. She insists a sacrifice must be made and two groupsâthose for and those againstâare aligned. Clearly, staying in the store may prove fatal, and the Draytons, along with store employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller, attempt to make their escape. But whatâs out there may be worse than what they left behind.
This exhilarating novella explores the horror in both the enemy you knowâand the one you can only imagine.

I can't give this more stars. I first listened to the 3-D audio drama back when i was a kid and it was just so much more entertaining than this. I'm probably biased due to this. Take the review with a grain of salt.

Great, classic King story. Solid audio book. Will Patton sounds a lot like 1980s radio dj Casey Kasem imo and is a joy to listen to

Great story telling makes you want to go to the places and meet the people. However perhaps on a different day. This book does that and more . Also Will Patton is just the best!
