Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King's terrifying novella about a town engulfed in a dense, mysterious mist-as humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction…
In the wake of a destructive Maine summer thunderstorm, an impenetrable mist descends from the direction of a local military facility and infiltrates the small town of Bridgton. David Drayton and his son Billy are dragged into a living nightmare as unnatural and violent forces concealed by the mist begin to emerge, wreaking havoc in their wake. Now trapped in the local supermarket with a ragtag group of survivors, David unexpectedly faces a growing threat from within, one that promises to challenge the boundaries of sanity itself. In this horrifying mist, hearing is seeing-and believing. And what you're about to hear, you'll never forget.
Originally published in his acclaimed collection, Skeleton Crew, this riveting, eerie novella proves why Stephen King is a master storyteller in short form.

Another fantastic Stephen king story. Phenomenal character and world development. Realistic persona interaction in times of crisis. Traditional king foreshadowing with a few twists. Could have been soooo much longer lol.

The Mist is one of those books that lines up with the movie so well and it just feels so ominous. One of the few times King does a first-person POV and one of the few times a first-person POV reads scary, terrifying, and good. As classic as The Mist is, it's hard to really say anything new.
The audiobook has flaws, some vocal jumps or sudden spikes early on, but it too, is a masterpiece. Audiobook, Book, Movie, can't go wrong with any of them. Stay away from the series, after a few episodes it gets awful.
The Mist is a book to be read with From a Buick 8, as they both sound severely connected to one another. It remains one of King's lesser answered mysteries, and I think it's better left that way. Mysterious.

It was a bit short. It reminds me of the movie adaptation.

I just finished listening to this, the first Stephen King book and for a horror book, it was great. However, I was expecting it to be more gruesome, gory, horror-y. I will be reading/listening to more by Stephen King, this was good, just not fully what I anticipated
