Great collection! Can't wait to start volume 2!

Great Stories! Different then most of his other short story books, but if you know Stephen King, you then know that he's not just the Master of Horror. He's also the Master of having no need for a comfort zone or M.O. To rely on. He writes incredibly, exploring different genres and states of mind. The short stories in this collection are no different.

The readers are all fantastic! Whoopi Goldberg was a delightful surprise in that I never expected her to be such an amazing story teller. Everyone else was amazing as well.

Now... On to Volume 2!

I enjoyed the short stories

Creepy short stories. Classic King. I am not baseball fan so the last story was beyond me.

Great!!!

Love this. I thought that all the readers were perfect for the story they read.

Just get rid of the stupid music

Dolan's Caddy
Crouch End &
Suffer the Children are the 3 best in my opinion

some were great

the last story in the anthology that Stephen King read. ugh I hated it. a baseball story that dragged on forever. I quit 30 minutes left.

There’s something for everyone.

Not all stories will appeal to everyone. I’ve just finished listening to Salem’s Lot and commented about how I disliked the music. Same applies here. Distracting and doesn’t bring anything to any of the stories. The recordings are starting to feel a little “dated”, compared to the quality we are used to nowadays. I skipped a couple of stories because the voice of the narrators was just painful to listen to.

Excellent !!

Wonderfully narrated by all. I've always loved Tim Curry and Whoopi, and have now fallen in love with Yeardley Smith. Her reading of RAINY SEASON was talented and interesting.. a real performance. And, as always, King rules all. <3

I love these short stories!

Beautifully done. The narrators did an amazing job. The stories were great. Wonderful book and presentation!

Head Down

Head Down was wonderful! I was going to skip it because it was an essay and I’m not much of a baseball fan. But the words and story of these young boys was so well done! Don’t skip it! When people talk today about young men being left behind they should listen and learn from this.

Stephen King always the master., Love his books ,

I read every thing he writes, he just doesn't put them out fast enough. Give me more...
