Four Past Midnight

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: James Woods, Tim Sample, Willem Dafoe, Ken Howard

The #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King—four chilling novellas that will “grab you and not let go” (The Washington Post).

ONE PAST MIDNIGHT: The Langoliers takes a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston into a most unfriendly sky. Only eleven passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn’t.

TWO PAST MIDNIGHT: Secret Window, Secret Garden enters the suddenly strange life of writer Mort Rainey, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake—until the mysterious John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger.

THREE PAST MIDNIGHT: The Library Policeman has his terrifying sights set on businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind. But another enemy lurks as well—the truth—and if Sam can find it in time, he might stand a chance.

FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT: The Sun Dog comes in the form of a looming supernatural menace, appearing in every picture that young Kevin Delevan takes with his new camera. Pop Merrill, Castle Rock’s sharpest trader, aims to exploit it for profit—but this creature is a very dangerous investment.

People need to get over the music

All these reviews about the unnecessary music need to just get over it already. It’s in nearly all of Kings audio books and isn’t more than 10 seconds at a time at most. Focus on the story and you will be fine

very good stories

I love that the stories were very good I enjoyed listening to them at night before I went to sleep

Just up front only listened to The Langoliers

William Defoe did a great job in narrating The Langoliers however they put some music in there that could have done without. The story was more or less word for word from the TV movie in the 90’s with a few more details in there. Still remains one of my favorite stories by Stephen King.

terrible background music

The story and performance was great but background music is terrible and takes away from the stories

You can skip the Sun Dog...

The first 3 stories were pretty great. The Library Policeman was the most shocking and surprising story for me because I had came into it blind. Each of the performances had their highs and lows, with Willem Dafoe having the weakest performance in my opinion.
