Thirteen Past Midnight

A Friday the 13th Story

By: Stephen B. King

Narrated by: Geoffrey Boyes

Can dreams foretell the future? Every night, Jonathon returns to the same nightmare…where a cat that seems spawned from hell is always waiting for him. The dreams began at the stroke of midnight, but the following dreams happen one minute later than the night before.

A sense of dread looms over him as the clock ticks ever closer to 13 past midnight. Will he realize they’re nothing more than frightening dreams…or will he die in his sleep?

Just So-So

First, this showed up in the middle of a search for the master horror writer Stephen King. Yes, I noticed the middle initial “B” but I figured the book was from an earlier time. Second, I could tell immediately that this wasn’t the Stephen King story I was looking for so I had to look at other reviews. Sure enough, there I found the confirmation that it wasn’t THE Stephen King. So, third, now for my review of the book because I did power through and decided to give it a chance. Overall, it was an OK read. It started off bumpy and then righted itself for a while. But then it became repetitive and the turn towards religion seemed forced to the point it felt thrown into the story so that an ending could be contrived. The characters weren’t likable either at least for me.

I liked it but....

i was really enjoying this book bit then it ended up turning all religious.

Good story

I liked the story as I always like King’s stories, but the narrator not so much.

not interesting at all

thought this was a story by the other Stephen King. I can't tell if it's a decent story ruined by the narration, or a horrible story, combined with horrible narration. either way the narration was abysmal couldn't finish this one.
