A marked improvement

After the hit and miss quality volume, I was hesitant to see what volume two had in store but thankfully it collects better stories and better quality recordings. The standouts here are The End of the Whole Mess by Matthew Broderick and Home Delivery read by King himself. Kathy Bates and Tim Curry also turn in excellent performances while Cronenberg whispers his way through Sneakers, but it is still a great listen.

It's ok

the first one has better and more king style stories. even if the last one was about his kids little league(which I enjoyed listening to throughly). but this one felt like the least of his style, except for the last two. I thought those were superb 10/10. now onto volume 3

Great collection

I liked them all. Ready for III. Can not wait to get in to it.

Great stuff

I enjoyed this a little more than the first volume. I read the book when it first came out and remember it fondly. I was not disappointed. It is great stuff read by a star cast of voice talent.

Classic King stories

Loved the Sherlock Holmes story. Tim Curry was perfect for it. Worth the listen.

One of Kings Best

Fantastic set of classic short stories. An excellent array of talented readers as well. Classic King
Only small downside is the sometimes overbearing/poor sound effects and music that are sometimes thrown in strange places.

Lisa Simpson

Any additional comments?

The section read by Yeardley Smith (aka Lisa Simpson) was great but I had the image of Lisa reading the story

50%

half of stories good... half of stories filler. the last two are worth listening to...

Very good book

I loved Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Volume I and I felt that Volume II was even better.

A masterful collection

"Nightmares and Dreamscape" is among my favorite short story collections by Stephen King. While not all strictly horror, each story offers a unique and captivating experience. It's a diverse and intriguing treasure trove. King's mastery over short stories shines through the whole book — three volumes here on Audible —keeping readers engaged.
