Graveyard Shift

and Other Stories from Night Shift

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: John Glover

John Glover reads a selection of unabridged short stories, including "Graveyard Shift," from Stephen King's best-selling collection Night Shift.©1976 Stephen King; (P)1994 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House, Inc.

Best of the 'lot

While the dissecting of Night Shift into three parts appears to be a shameless grab for money, this volume is a bargain and a half. Some of the best of King's short fiction collection is here - the brutal and ravaging "Graveyard Shift" and utterly chilling "Jerusalem's Lot" - among less horrifying but equally well-told tales like "The Last Rung on the Ladder" and "Night Surf". Courtesy of John Glover, who lends a multi-textured performance across all of the stories contained in this selection, the listener can truly hear the beginnings of the masterful writing that would go on to create masterpiece novels like "The Stand" and "'Salem's Lot". When "The Man Who Loved Flowers" is the least terrifying of the bunch (and don't let the name or that description fool you), you know you're in for a wicked treat as only King can deliver.

Good stories, strange omissions.

very weird that these collections are only off ered in partial chunks, but whatever. I mean, sometimes you just need to read Jerusalem's lot again, or night surf, or whatever
also, stories are poorly indexed.

Great Adaptation

It might seem cynical of the publishers to release Night Shift in three parts, especially when we expect to get more for one credit here on Audible. Nevertheless, this is the way the audiobook was released in 1999 and it's worth every penny.

John Glover might be my new favorite narrator for King's works. He brings the passion and emotions of a dramatic reading while maintaining the vocal compression and consistency of an experienced voice actor. Truly some great stuff. I'm tempted to seek out more of his recordings.

Very Disappointed

I guess I should have read closer to the details. There are only two stories on here.

We were robbed, actually.

Short-stacked. No Children of the Corn, Trucks, One for the Road, and those are off the top of my head. Not a complete collection. The narrator, John Glover, does his best with what he has. I'm glad I read the paperback first.
