Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

When first confronted by John Shooter, famous novelist Mort Rainey sees him as nothing more than an avid, albeit slightly eccentric, fan. However, Shooter's accusation of plagiarism and his overbearing attitude of malevolence send Rainey scattering to prove his innocence. As Rainey's evidence disappears, his sanity and safety go along with it, and soon he is approaching a reckoning with the determined Shooter. Besides a few audible page turns, James Woods offers a compelling reading, eliciting the stress and anxiety building up in Rainey as he comes unraveled. There's a slightly whiny pitch to Woods's voice that also makes him a good match for Rainey. This 1991 recording (of a novella taken from King's Four Past Midnight) is making its belated debut on CD after 17 years, and throughout it has the recognizable light background hiss of an older recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Window, Secret Garden, March 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Secret Window, Secret Garden: Two Past Midnight (Four Past Midnight) (Audio Cassette)

Wow this story scared the crap out of me. Stephen King certainly knows what words to use to scare someone. The story was amazing and the ending was suprisng. To tell you the truth I didn't like one of the characters, the ex wife. Thought she was a pain. But this story was totally worth the money. If you are unsure try to find it at your local library, but if your into scary stories then you should buy it. Well thats it I hope everyone gives it a chance because this story is great!! :)

This review is from: Secret Window, Secret Garden: Two Past Midnight (Four Past Midnight) (Audio Cassette)

Raading horror leads a reader to "exciting fear" in general .But king brought up a new frame in this one , better discribed as confusion.For king as a writer himself draws the soul of "mart" , a fully disturbed man(who wrote 6 best-selling novels) trying to accomplish the truth.On the other hand stands an illusion of an exsisting "jhon shooter" accusing "mart" for stealin' his novel.the plot is powerfull enough not to put the book down.The way "mart" thinks to reach for analysis will make your head ache already. the end is a masterpice itself.One of King's best.Perfectly illustrated.
