The Mist
The Creepiest Horror Short Story by Stephen King
Narrated by Will Patton
Even if you've never read the short story, by Stephen King, you know The Mist. It was the talk of the day when the movie released, in theaters, back in 2007. I'd read the story back in high school, but when I saw there was a movie, I told my hubby he had to read it with me, so he'd be familiar when I dragged him to view yet another horror flick. He loved them both! So why, after reading it, re-reading it, then seeing it multiple times on cable and my iTunes library was watching the lame made-for-tv series, would I listen to the audiobook?
Because it's just that good!
Today's review is The Mist. #element-dd493de9-6670-4571-a8ee-d4dcd0e6c2e9 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}
A nearby military base, known for the Arrowhead Project, caused something to happen. The incident abandoned the residents of nearby Bridgeton, ME in mortal danger of the worst kind. Their mistake produced a mist. A mist that hid things. Things that wanted to eat them.
Okay, so it's so easy to blend the movie and the book, but I won't. Since speculation was pretty much blanked out in the book, I loved how King left the book's ending. I can't say exactly what he did; if you've never read the book, you have to! The movie's ending is totally different, and the television series was so awful, it didn't get to end.
The horror was so rich, raw and amazingly terrifying, it was the best and explained why King has always been the king of horror! The description, details, both of which King is known for, was perfect, which allowed my imagination to do the work necessary to join in the fantastical world. The terrors of Maine were from a world only he could create.
I've literally- literally loved this story all of my life! If you haven't read it but love King, you must grab yourself a copy. Oh, if you own Skeleton Crew, it's in there! It's the first story, beginning on page 21. Happy Horror Reading- Cheers!
