Gray Matter and Other Stories From Night Shift

And Other Stories from Night Shift

De: Stephen King

Narrado por: John Glover

Consummate master of his craft, Stephen King has kept millions awake past midnight shivering at tales that probe the shadows and reveal the dark side. Now listeners can chill to this dramatic unabridged production of 6 short stories from his best-selling book, Night Shift. It brings Stephen King's demonic stories fully to life - and the terror even closer to home.

Lying on the couch in Dr. Harper's office, keeping a close watch on the closet door, Lester Billings relates the bizarre tale of "The Boogeyman" who has taken his children's lives. In "I Know What You Need," a pretty college co-ed finds the perfect lover while on a campus in Maine. A young man thrills to the eerie mists of a murderous "Strawberry Spring." A winter storm hits and a group of old codgers who regularly gather around the Reliable at Henry's Nite-Owl discover the gruesome fate of an old crony in the title story, "Gray Matter." A son, horrified by the grim indignity of death, struggles with his love for "The Woman in the Room," while a hit man, back from a successful assignment, finds himself besieged by a toy army that turns his New York penthouse into a deadly "Battleground."

Loved it!

Great! Enjoyed from start to finish! Definitely recommend it! Good for relaxing at home or being on the go. Will listen again.

Has a Glitch

I loved the stories, but the audible has some spaces and or pauses that I feel Im losing sentences or info. Very annoying.
Also I thought it had all the short stories, didn't realize it only has a few stories.

Good stories, nice voice, odd pauses.

This was very enjoyable overall. There are a few weird pauses and hiccup-like blips at times, but it doesn't hinder the storytelling. I wish more stories were included in this instead of having Night Shift broken up into three volumes. John Glover's narration is well done overall.

The chapter boundaries don’t align with the stories

New stories begin like 7/11 way into what Audible calls a “chapter”.

It’s such a easy thing to fix - I find this is a common problem among audible short stories collections.

vintage in the best way

equal parts scary and funny and beautifully written
also periodically nauseating. this mfer has it all!

Novel Rejects?

Candyman & the last short story in this collection should have their own full-length novel editions!

Short Gold

Loved the rapidity. Guess I gotta finish it up! Lawnmower Man here we come, as the sample is already pulling me in.

Bad audio and short selection

I knew when I purchased it that this didn’t contain the whole book but I’m really annoyed. It cost a full credit but gave me less than three hours of content. Also, the audio on this is not good quality; sounded like the narrator was using an old-timey mic and could never get it to be very loud.

This is a lot of fun

This is a lot of fun. I don't know why the book is broken i to three title. I would rather have it this way than not at all. The recording is clear but almost an amateur quality in sound quality. It sounds like itight be one of the first audiobooks. Again, I would rather have it this way than not at all. I recommend it. Have low expectations for the recording and you might really like it.

Audio quality

Audio quality was weirdly bad. The recording sounded a lot worse than the other stories.
