Worth the listen

The stories were good. Some of the readers were a bit hard to understand. The baseball story at the end was the most enjoyable.

It was OK.

I thought the first and the last stories were sort of dumb and just seem to drag on without really coming to a point but the rest of them weren’t bad.

You can't go wrong with Stephen King

My mom used to play nightmares and dreamscapes on long car rides when I was younger. I remember we had the cassettes. lol But having this on Audible is amazing and brought back so many memories. Having these amazing voices bring alive such incredible short stories is definitely a great way to relax. I've always loved Stephen King and what he can bring to the mind. Just one story and you are hooked and feening for the rest.

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!

Just get rid of the stupid music

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

The best King audio books available

I owned these three volumes on tape, and I am thrilled to see them on audible. The narration is engaging, and the story telling is excellent.
