Tried Old Plot

Would you listen to The Road Virus Heads North again? Why?

I would listen again because it was a good listen until the end.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The beginning was intriguing - at the yard sale. The end was just a letdown. The 'creature' coming for him - the end.

I liked the reader's style and his voice. He is easy to listen to and I wanted to hear more.

If you could rename The Road Virus Heads North, what would you call it?

Yard Sale - Caveat Emptor.

Any additional comments?

This could have been a really great story. It started off so well with the suicide of the artist and the fact that he was on drugs. It just floundered at the end. It could have almost been the story of the Monkey's Paw in a skewed way.

Great read

I wished it was longer, Kings short stories are amazing! Cant wait for the tv movie adaptation.
