4.0 out of 5 stars The Mist, 5 Nov 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
'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.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Mist in "great Stephen King movie" shock!, 7 Oct 2008
By Paul Fillery (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Firstly, shop around and get the "Skeleton Crew" anthology instead, where you'll get several other King short stories as well as this novella - much better value, so a star off for that.
Great King story, classic set-up and scares, and some nice observations about the siege mentality of humankind. Possibly even a link to the "Dark Tower" series - has the Arrowhead Project ripped a hole between dimensions and created a "thinny"?
A second star off for the ending, which just tails off into nothing. Be warned if you plan on watching the movie version (which is fantastic - it's by Frank Darabont, so of course it is!): the ending is radically different and far superior. In fact, it is stunning in its audacity. Kudos to Darabont for refusing studio pressure to change it, and to King for agreeing to the change to his story. Be warned - it is bleak.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be listened to on a midnight highway trip!, 27 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mist (Audio Cassette)
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.
