    About this audiobook

    Includes the story “The Monkey”—now a major motion picture!

    The #1 New York Times bestseller—a mesmerizing treasury of short stories by Stephen King.

    An eerie-looking child’s toy harbors an unimaginable evil. A supermarket is unexpectedly the place where humanity makes its last stand against destruction. A trip to the attic becomes a journey to hell. An idyllic lake conceals a bottomless terror. And a desert island is the scene of the most frightening struggle for survival ever waged.

    Featuring the short story “The Monkey” (now a major motion picture) and the novella “The Mist,” which was both a feature film and television series, as well as many other haunting now classic tales, this magnificent collection is enduring and irresistible proof that Stephen King is a true master of the short story form.

      I decided to read these short stories since “The Monkey” is in theaters. However, “Grandma” was excellent. Funny and creepy! 5?for that particular short story!

      Bad recording, but enjoyable selections. Sounds like this recording was taken from a skipping, damaged CD-- specifically the last two tracks.
