Book Description

Oct 2 2007
Suspended in a haze of terror, humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction!

Stephen King's sinister imagination and the miracle of 3-D sound transport you to a hot, lazy day in a sleepy all-American town -- where a sudden, violent storm leaves behind a mysterious mist that traps you in the supermarket with dozens of others, cut off from your families and the world.

The Mist is alive, seething with unearthly sounds and movements. The Mist has you in its grip, and this masterpiece of 3-D sound engineering surrounds you with horror so real that you'll be grabbing your own arm for reassurance. To one side -- and whipping around your chair, a slither of tentacles. Swooping down upon you, a rush of grotesque, prehistoric wings. In the impenetrable mist, hearing is seeing -- and believing. And what you're about to hear, you'll never forget.

From the Publisher

Sound so visual you're literally engulfed by its bonechilling terror! Stephen King's sinister imagination and the miracle of 3-D sound transport you to a sleepy all-American town. It's a hot, lazy day, perfect for a cookout, until you see those strange dark clouds. Suddenly a violent storm sweeps across the lake and ends as abruptly and unexpectedly as it had begun. Then comes the mist...creeping slowly, inexorably into town, where it settles and waits, trapping you in the supermarket with dozens of others, cut off from your families and the world. The mist is alive, seething with unearthly sounds and movements. What unleashed this terror? Was it the Arrowhead Project---the top secret government operation that everyone has noticed but no one quite understands? And what happens when the provisions have run out and you're forced to make your escape, edging blindly through the dim light? The Mist has you in it grip, and this masterpiece of 3-D sound engineering surrounds you with horror so real that you'll be grabbing your own arm for reassurance. To one side---and whipping around your chair, a slither of tentacles. Swooping down upon you, a rush grotesque, prehistoric wings. In the impenetrable mist, hearing is seeing---and believing. And what you're about to hear, you'll never forget. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mist Sep 5 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was the only story that gave me a nightmare after I'd finished reading it. It's what you can't see in The Mist that lingers in your mind.

A truly scary tale.

Even if you're not into Stephen King, I recommend this short story as a worthy sampler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great short book Nov 23 2010
By A Customer TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While The Mist is a quick read(novella), I found the plot along with the cast of characters to be extremely well developed. My only complaint is that King never developed this into a full length novel since I feel it would have been a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of King's earlier works. Mar 14 2008
By K. Wong TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a short but sweet read. I could tell it was one of his earlier works by the style and plot. The plot itself is predictable and sometimes random in regards to the overall construct of the storyline. But the heart of this book really is getting inside the shoes of the protagonist and the atmosphere of the staging area of the book. I found it enjoyable slipping into the worlld.

But I did find the overall story lacking polish, as certain dialogue and characters are very bland and cliche. In the end it was a "good" read, however far from spectacular and certainly not scary. But for anyone wanting to sample some of King's works, this is a decent book to dip your feet into the water with.

This 3D audio endeavor has great intentions. However, the story lost much in the audio presentation. I had to turn my volume almost up to max to hear some of the dialogue. Read more
