The Mist

This recording is faithful to Stephen King's story, keeping most of the structure and the key scenes. My only regret, having read the original and loving it, is the shift in narrative voice from a first person account to a third person "witnessing" of the events. Some of its beauty is lost in that change.

Changes notwithstanding, this is a very entertaining drama, and well worth the price of admission.

Stephen King's "The Mist" in 3-D sound is a wonderful, one of a kind achievement that gets better with each listen. It would be nice to see more programs of this type, especially based on King's works; for now, however, "The Mist" stands on its own as not only one of the greatest sci-fi horror stories ever written, but one of the best ever recorded. Bravo!


The 3-D sound makes this unique among audiobooks.   February 5, 1999
The Mist is a spine-tinglingly claustrophobic story. It features a full cast of actors and excellent sound effects. The quality of the production is greatly augmented by the the 3-D sound which permeates the entire story. Strangely, The Mist is the only 3-D audiobook I've ever found.

Imagine my suprise when I found "The Mist" on Amazon.com, I have been looking for this recording for years. I ordered it immediately. I got it today and couldn't wait to sit down and listen to it. Though the 3-D sound was incredible the story lacked substance and seemed to jump all over the place. In one part a man is trapped in a store with his son, his wife is at home miles away and probably dead, so he decides to sleep with another woman. What this had to do with the story or the plot is beyond me.

Don't get me wrong, I've been a Stephen King fan since I first started reading thrillers, you could even say that he is my favorite writer. But, "The Mist" is nothing like anything by Mr. King that I have ever heard before. I was disappointed.

Maybe it was the medium used to deliver the story that disappointed me? If it were in book form I might have been able to "crawl into" or "become part" of the story and then I may h! ave enjoyed it.
