The Mist

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Will Patton

#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—originally 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 God’s vengeance for their sins. She insists a sacrifice must be made and two groups—those for and those against—are 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 what’s out there may be worse than what they left behind.

This exhilarating novella explores the horror in both the enemy you know—and the one you can only imagine.

Something in the fog took John Lee!

Frightening story, expertly narrated. What lurks in the mist is nothing compared to the boat load of crazy those cowering from it face. This is the novella previously published in a collection of shorts.

short and to the point

The narrator is amazing as always. Once the ball starts rolling in this story there is no stopping it. You think you know what's coming next and it keeps suprising you. Horrific and unimaginable things go thump in the night (mist)

Great story. Enjoyed it.

Like the story and it was enjoyable. I would like a part 2 but we can't always get what we want.

awesome, chilling story.

a great, classic short story that's sure to please those that dont want your classic ending

Great story and performance

This was truly a great listening experience. First you have the story by Mr. King which is well written, terrifying at times, and always interesting. The performance of the story by Will Patton is fantastic as well. Full of energy and haunting at times. The words come alive as he reads.
