This was just as good, or maybe even better than reading the book! The things that made it a lot better were the reader, John Glover, he was so great, and the sound effects. I was listening to Lawnmower Man, and I didn't remember it was that scary! This audio book should be heard after you read Night Shift, or if you aren't planning to. All the short stories are guaranteed to give you sleepless nights, and it is a high recommendation!

The title about says it all. The author definitely keeps your full attention while you are listening to these assorted strange tales. He brings the limits of human imagination to you in an easily understood presentation that will have you thinking twice about your future interactions with others, especially strangers. It can become quite scary at times as you find yourself imagining that you are one of the various victims in these short tales. A recommended addition to anyones audio library.

I listened to the 5 stories today and found it very entertaining. I have seen the movie The Lawnmower Man and it was quite different. But this version was real good. I liked Sometimes they come back the best. Quitters Inc, The ledge and The mangler were all very good as well. This is my 1st King exposure to his horror stories and it was all I expected it to be. I recommend it highly. Narrator John Glover is very good too.

This Cryptic Collection of Stories is as Scary As Hell. I would recomend it to any Scary Story fan. It makes it better than reading the book caus you can enjoy it in the Dark. Warning: THIS IS VERY SCARY. Stories like Sometimes They Come Back, The BoogyMan, and especialy Jerusalems Lot will freak you out.
