When a very unusual summer storm blows through town, it brings a strange mist with it that traps townsfolk in the local supermarket. As The Mist lingers, the townsfolk come to realize there is an even greater danger hiding out of sight. What is more dangerous? The deadly creatures that kill all they encounter or the fanatics trapped with them who think this is the hand of God at play? For these residents, the answer is looming...
I own most every book Stephen King has written, but have actually not read The Mist before now. Recently made into a movie, The Mist is a terrifying venture into the unknown as only the master, Stephen King himself, can write. King has penned a wonderfully spooky story where the monsters could be anything from a genetic defect to the results of a scientific experiment, no one really knows. For a shorter story (The Mist is a novella from a previously released anthology) so much happens that this one compares to some of the full length works King has written, for pure shock value and nail biting error.
Put that story to sound and narrative and you have a truly horrifying experience, of the best possible kind. I've never listened to a 3-D audio book and let me tell you, there is no better way to experience a story like this! I can't count the number of times I jumped out of my seat in fright at what was pouring through my headphones. I love a good horror story, book, movie or other, and nothing has compared recently to this dramatization of The Mist. It is even more frightening in this format because you can't see events unfolding, only hear them, which really outs the imagination to work. And we all know sometimes our own imaginations are the most terrifying place to be. A creak here, a crash there, and a scream coming from everywhere... wow what an experience! I'd love to see more audio books developed in this format!
