Book Description

Sep 1993
Sound so visual you're literally engulfed by its bonechilling terror! Stephen King's sinister imagination and the miracle of 3-D sound transport you to a sleepy all-American town. It's a hot, lazy day, perfect for a cookout, until you see those strange dark clouds. Suddenly a violent storm sweeps across the lake and ends as abruptly and unexpectedly as it had begun.

Then comes the mist... creeping slowly, inexorably into town, where it settles and waits, trapping you in the supermarket with dozens of others, cut off from your families and the world.

The mist is alive, seething with unearthly sounds and movements. What unleashed this terror? Was it the Arrowhead Project-- the top secret government operation that everyone has noticed but no one quite understands? And what happens when the provisions have run out and you're forced to make your escape, edging blindly through the dim light? "The Mist" has you in its grip, and this masterpiece of 3-D sound engineering surrounds you with horror so real that you'll be grabbing your own arm for reassurance. To one side-- and whipping around your chair, a slither of tentacles. Swooping down upon you, a rush grotesque, prehistoric wings. In the impenetrable mist, hearing is seeing-- and believing. And what you're about to hear, you'll never forget.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Mist 5 Nov 2007
By Dr Evil TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
'The Mist' is a novella written by Stephen King, first published in a collection called Dark Forces and then again in another collection called Skeleton Crew. Now re-released as a stand-alone novel to tie-in with the new movie due out at the end of the year.

The story mainly follows lead character David and his young son Billy as their town is overtaken my a mysterious fog after a serious storm. The man and his son are then trapped in a local supermarket when unearthly creatures begin taking over the small town and killing it's residents.

This is a great short story and one of the best that I've read from Mr King, focussing more on the characters rather than just full-on horror and gore. Once I started reading this I couldn't put it down. There's a couple of silly bits in it that could have been left out but overall it is a great read and one that I would recommend to any fan of King or the horror/sci-fi genre in general. There's also many likenesses to films, books and even games such as The Fog, Silent Hill, War of the Worlds and even some of Stephen King's own later novels. My only complaint is the cop-out ending which just leaves the reader guessing and with a story like this I really felt like I needed some closure. Still, a good, entertaining and suspense-filled thriller that makes me look forward to the movie.

Well, I finally got a truly weird feeling when engaged in my favorite new hobby: audiobooks. The Mist is one hell of a scare...and I am not through listening yet! Wait until you have a midnight run and listen to it on the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tremendously entertaining experience! 19 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio Cassette
Stephen King's "The Mist" in 3-D sound is a wonderful, one of a kind achievement that gets better with each listen. It would be nice to see more programs of this type, especially based on King's works; for now, however, "The Mist" stands on its own as not only one of the greatest sci-fi horror stories ever written, but one of the best ever recorded. Bravo!
