Thad Beaumont would like to say he is innocent. He'd like to say he has nothing to do with the twisted imagination that produced his best-selling novels. He'd like to say he has nothing to do with the series of monstrous murders that keep coming closer to his home. But how can Thad deny the ultimate embodiment of evil that goes by the name he gave it - and signs its crimes with Thad's bloody fingerprints?

Just After Sunset - call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King.

Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

A master storyteller at his best - the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand-new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story. Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King's finest gifts to his constant fan. "I made them especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth."

Fantastic!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend, because the stories are great, and the reader is one of the best I have ever heard.
What did you like best about this story?
All of the novellas in the book are great, but the shawshank redemption is my favorite out of all of them.
What does Frank Muller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Frank was fantastic at first person stories. He was also good at making you feel like you were really in the novel he was reading. That is why he was and audio award winner in my opinion.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending of apt pupil was very surprising to me.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend any book read by Frank Muller.

Four amazing short stories
Stephen King said that when he is writing his books Frank Muller's voice is the one that he hears in his head.
These are four amazing stories brought to life in audio format by the much missed and loved Frank Muller, one of the best narrators that ever lived.
Each of them is set in a different season of the year and three of them have been adapted into great movies. The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me are two of the movies inspired by these stories.
Fast paced plots and a perfect performance makes this collection a must read for all fans of Stephen King.
I hope that one day the publisher will take the time to mark the chapters for evrry book separatly.

A Stephen King Classic! Must "read"
Just finished the Audible version of Stephen King's "Different Seasons". A story for each season. All I can say is Awesome! & I was sorry when the stories ended. What an imagination & creativity this author has! Thoroughly enjoyed & the narration was just right. I would highly recommend. Three of the stories were made into movies- Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption & Apt Pupil. Stephen King at his best in my humble opinion.
