Important note: This audiobook was recorded on audio cassettes. Unfortunately, the quality of the first cassette (sides 1 and 2, which is approximately the first half of the story “The Mist”) is rather terrible, but the rest is acceptable.

In this brilliant collection, Stephen King takes readers down paths that only he could imagine… A supermarket becomes the place where humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction…a trip to the attic turns into a journey to hell…a woman driver finds a very scary shortcut to paradise…an idyllic lake harbors a bottomless evil…and a desert island is the scene of the most terrifying struggle for survival ever waged.

Published in 1985, this collection features 22 works, including a novella “The Mist”, 19 short stories and two poems: “Paranoid: A Chant” and “For Owen”.

In addition to the introduction, Skeleton Crew features an epilogue entitled “Notes” wherein King discusses the origins of several stories in the collection.
