As Stephen King's Number One Fan (wink, wink), I can only say how awesome it is to have Stephen King's F13 running on my computer. It's gory graphics and creepy sounds are just what I'd expect from the "king of horror". My particularly favorite feature is having Stephen King in a corner of my screen clacking away at a new story in real-time. That and a new (lengthy) short story. I won't give too much away, but it is one of his creepier ones. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

they could have included more sound bytes to export for other uses on your computer, but overall this is a well-put-together piece of software. the screensavers are wonderful (the guy sleeping with all the king-esque things going on around him is the best, in my opinion), and the inclusion of a king short story is just icing on the cake.

Don't expect miraculous things from this... but both myself and my daughter (my PC & her Imac) can share this, which is great, and the main point is FUN! And it is just that: I am currently enjoying the Bumps & Thumps soundbytes as well as the scrensavers and the hearse that's my current background this week. My 13 year-old had a blast (laughing so hard- it was great!) with the Whack-A-Zombie game. It's harmless and a good time. I would have wished for more sounds and more varied ones at that, but overall, we're enjoying it quite a bit. Thanks, Stephen.

I am a real estate agent and I have the murder and mayhem screen saver(great looking house that changes seasons) on my computer at work and EVERYONE that sees it gets a big kick out of it! The games are fun also!

As a King fan I think this is a fun addition for my software library. Very creepy but not too gorey for my kids to see, as a matter of fact they think its really cool!

For the few people that complain that F13 is not a real game--read the reviews, preview the package BEFORE you buy--if you were expecting a full-length, feature game then you only have yourself to blame! It's evident that it's a time-killer rather than the standard computer game. However, for true Stephen King fans (and for those who love to find new ways to kill time at the computer), this is a must have. Great features, lots of fun...and purely King.

As an avid Stephen King fan, I rushed out to buy the latest and greatest from the king of horror. F13 is the perfect gory answer to all the boring computer interfaces that I've seen. Finally there is something out there worthy enough to compliment my warped sense of humor and stick on my desktop. If you're scared of creepy crawly things in the dark, then you'll love F13. Thanks Mr. King!

This is a must have for old and new fans alike, the creepy sounds and wallpapers as well as the ghoulish games will keep you busy for a while. As an added perk, you get to have SK himself typing up a new spooky read from the corner of your desktop window. Control, Alt, Shiver is right!

For those of you who aren't familiar with F-13, it is a complition of games, screen savers, scary sounds, backdrops, and a short story. My favorite backdrop is the cemetery. I tried using the screensavers (It's just lightning was my favorite.) and had memory problems on both my Performa and my iMac. Any suggestions out there? There are oodles of scary sounds, some of which grossed me out. The games are good too. Whack-a-Zombie is challenging and very addictive. I liked the variety of the ghouls in this game. Bug Splat is somewhat addicting and very gory. No Swimming was fun for five minutes, but then got a little boring after the fifth cow got eaten. More variety could've been used with that game.Everything's Eventual was very good. I won't spoil the plot for you. You will just have to go out and buy it for yourself.

The games are great, and "Everything's Eventual" is another of Stephen King's wonderful made-up stories. It was a new experience for me to read one of his books on the computer, but I managed. Later on, I'll have a review of his latest one, "Riding the Bullet". Until then....
