Hit and Miss

The fiction is great, and the stories read by actors really sing.

BUT, two gripes: the last entry is a long non-fiction piece about baseball, and the voice acting is a very mixed bag.

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 Stephen King's Short Stories

I loved all of the stories except for Head Down and Brooklyn August. My favorite was Dolan's Cadillac and Suffer the Little Children . I enjoyed this audiobook so much that I plan on watching the miniseries Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King.

Very Interesting Listening

I am a long time reader Stephen King Fan. First time listening to one of his novels. Took a little time getting use to listening, but quickly adapted to the narrator-tones, except for the high-tone narrator. The quality and story was great. I enjoyed this audio book. One note on narration interest--I like the low-tone narrators best for easy listening.

It didn't fit

The little league essay was too much for me and my eyes started to glaze over. I couldn't help it. I waswaiting for someone to die horribly, but that never happened. It was a pretty interesting bit of memorabilia for his son Owen.

Please re-release in one volume.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Nightmares & Dreamscapes. But I’m someone who likes to listen to a book and read along (via my Kindle) at the same time. However, since the stories in these 3 volumes don’t line up with the book that makes it kind of tricky.

Please, Please rerelease this book in one volume with the stories arranged like the book itself is, I’ll even buy it again if that’s what it takes.
