Publisher's Summary
Everything's Eventual features Dinky Earnshaw - a 19-year-old delivery boy - who gets hired by a mysterious stranger for a unique and totally "eventual" (awesome) job. Read by Justin Long.
Autopsy Room Four. The last thing Howard Cottrell remembers is entering the woods to find his golf ball. He wakes up as he is being rolled into an autopsy room. Read by Oliver Platt.
The Little Sisters of Eluria. Roland is a gunslinger in a deserted town when he gets ambushed. Read by Boyd Gaines.

The Road Virus Heads North tracks an author who buys a creepy painting at a yard sale, which was painted by a metal-head neighbor just before he committed suicide. Read by Jay O. Sanders.
Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, these five stories announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

What the Critics Say
"Each of these stories draws the reader into King's slightly off-center world...developing characters and atmosphere more fully in the span of 50 pages than many authors can in a full novel." (Amazon.com)
"The author is not only immensely popular but immensely talented, a modern-day counterpart to Twain, Hawthorne, Dickens...No one does it better." (Publishers Weekly)

"3 Awesome Stories"
3 Excellent Stories. Everything's Eventual, Autopsy Room 4 and The Little Sisters of Auloria (I don't know if I spelled that correctly). The other two are good, but not King's best. The Little Siter's is a must read for Dark Tower fans, which I am. The only complant I have is that there were only 5 stories, where the book has 14. I especially think they should have done The Man in the Black Suit. It is definately worth listening to for the 3 stories mentioned.

"Skip this one"
I love Stephen King, but this is not his best. Two of the stories are mildly interesting, the others are totally forgetable. Go with "Lisey's Story" instead.

"Some of my favorite King"
These are some of my favorite short stories by King. After reading them a few years ago I thought it would be nice to listen to them. I was at times disappointed in the narrator but overall they are some of the best shorts.

"Love King stories, hate who presents them"
What did you love best about Everything's Eventual?I love the Dark Tower connected stories.
What did you like best about this story?I liked the unusual talent of Dinky Ernshaw. King could've gone with any number of
Would you listen to another book narrated by Judith Ivey and Oliver Platt ?I choose audiobooks mainly for the author, unless they are read by Frank Muller. After hearing King's Dark Tower series read by Mr. Muller I became a fan.
If you could take any character from Everything's Eventual out to dinner, who would it be and why?I only received five of the Everything's Eventual stories, so when I get the rest (apparently there is a second audiobook I have to purchase to get the entire book, WTF) I'll let you know.

"Sisters"
These five stories vary in quality as much as the quality of the stories. Justin Long is surprising in Dinky's. The Little Sister of Eluria was GREAT and the best introduction to the Dark Tower as you could ask! The Autopsy so so. Lucky Quarter was a unlucky read. I have forgotten the painting all together, but overall well worth the money!

"I enjoyed this book"
I agree with some of the reviewrs, I would say this has 3 really good stories in it. Everything eventual, autopsy room and the last story (I dont recall the name). If you have a long commute and want something fun to listen to give this a shot. It will be worth it.

"Hard to stop listening..."
Not being a avid horror fan, I found these stories interesting. What I enjoyed the most was the selection of the narrators for each of the different stories. They added a touch of realism that caught my imagination. I found myself sitting in the driveway, engine running...
In all honesty, the stories are not what I would call real horror. The closest thing was the "Autopsy Room 4" story. But I found them interesting and very imaginative.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
