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—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.

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)

just ok

The story was just ok. Mr King put so much detail into it, which in normally fine. However, this story was way too short for the details. He even called himself out about the ending being up to the reader to determine. It would have been nice to hear some background and how the story played out.

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
