1922

A Novel

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Craig Wasson

Winner of the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award

The chilling novella featured in Stephen King’s New York Times bestselling collection Full Dark, No Stars, 1922 is about a man who succumbs to the violence within—setting in motion a grisly train of murder and madness.

Wilfred James owns eighty acres of farmland in Nebraska that have been in his family for generations. His wife, Arlette, owns an adjoining one hundred acres. She wants to sell her land but if she does, Wilfred will be forced to sell as well. James will do anything to hold onto his farm, and he'll get his son to go along.

Betrayal, murder, madness, rats, 1922 is a breathtaking exploration into the dark side of human nature from the great American storyteller Stephen King.

Poor narrating

I almost wanted Henry to die. The narrator gave him such an irritating and whiney voice.

murder

Craig Wasson did excellent job of narration. This book helps illuminate the the dark parts if the humankind.

Great story, acceptable performance

Love the story, think it is absolutely fantastic. That being said, I do not care for the performance of the Hank as it seems the reader has confused a boy of 14 that would have a cracking voice with a high pitched 9 year old. Still, i would rate this a 4 out of 5 stars

The reader’s voice is fine

I understand why the reader of the book might not be for everybody, but I thought he did a great job of distinguishing the male voices so you could always understand who was talking. I didn’t find the women’s voices grating and thought Arlette was suitably played. Great story too! Highly recommend.

SK does it again

Creepy and much better than the NetFlix movie. If you want to watch the movie, finish the book first.
