Everything's Eventual

14 Dark Tales

De: Stephen King

Narrado por: Becky Ann Baker, John Cullum, Boyd Gaines, Peter Gerety, Josh Hamilton, Arliss Howard, Judith Ivey, Stephen King, Justin Long

The first collection of stories Stephen King has published since Nightmares & Dreamscapes nine years ago, Everything's Eventual includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other award winners, four stories published by The New Yorker, and "Riding the Bullet," King's original e-book, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade.

"Riding the Bullet" is the story of Alan Parker, who's hitchhiking to see his dying mother but takes the wrong ride, farther than he ever intended. In "Lunch at the Gotham Café", a sparring couple's contentious lunch turns very, very bloody when the maître d' gets out of sorts. "1408" is about a successful writer whose specialty is "Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Graveyards" or "Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Houses", and though Room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel doesn't kill him, he won't be writing about ghosts anymore. And in "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is In French", terror is déjà vu at 16,000 feet.

Whether writing about encounters with the dead, the near dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, from quitting smoking to yard sales, Stephen King is at the top of his form in the 14 dark tales assembled in Everything's Eventual. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

The complete list of narrators includes Becky Ann Baker, John Collum, Boyd Gaines, Peter Gerety, Josh Hamilton, Arliss Howard, Judith Ivey, Stephen King, Justin Long, Oliver Platt, and Jay O. Sanders.

A few read by King

I always enjoy hearing an author's interpretation of his own story. Good performances on all though.

great stories

excellent narration. great stories with perfect selection of the story tellers. I've listened to it twice

I NEED MORE STORIES!

I loved this collection of stories because it felt like 14 King books in a row! His ability to paint word pictures is almost unparalleled...

Loved it!

Short stories are the best, 1408 has always been one of my favorites. Anything the Stephen King writes is amazing.

Good Short Stories

Diverse, Very good, well narrated and enjoyable short stories I definitely recommend to all Stephen King fans.

Just After Dark...

was a stronger collection, I thought. Though there are some jems here. The title story frustrated me a bit since I saw Orwell's entrapment game as a more likely ending. For who would really share their real name and email with one who has the power to kill with a missive? Be well.

perfect

I usually listen to short stories like this while walking in the morning. noticed my walks getting longer because I wanted to keep listening!

I love these stories.

I have read these stories many times on paper back and enjoyed listening to them on here.

woah!

more great stories by Stephen king! such a variety in narration and the stories themselves!

Really great stories

Could do without the musical elements. kinda cheesy and unnecessary. In one story there are trumpets blaring over the reader.

Music aside, this is a wonderful book with a lot of heart in it.
