About this listen
"I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...." writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up "1922", the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.
In "Big Driver", a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself.
"Fair Extension", the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment.
When her husband of more than 20 years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends a good marriage.
Like Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight, which generated such enduring films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, Full Dark, No Stars proves Stephen King a master of the long story form.

Happily Disturbing
Stephen King's character work continues to evolve and amaze as he crafts these incredible stories. I was enthralled and horrified. I recommend this audiobook to anyone who wants to lose themselves for a while and shine a light into very dark places.

excellent selection. narration, not so much
I did not care for the female narrator. it sounds fake, like ai and has a children story tone. I slipped everything she read. I do not like a lusterless narrator.

Fantastic story
I love this story but the narration is awful and detracting. She sounds grating and falsetto so that almost ruined it for me. Meh.

Quality Stories - Perfect Performers
I really enjoyed the stories. It reminded me of Four Season for how much they came and got my emotions running while I listened. The performers where absolutely stunning. It really is a must have if you are a Stephen King fan
Mr King, if you read this, please... I really enjoy the forewords and afterwords when they are read by you, if you can :)

awesomely addictive!
Love it! Awesomely Addictive! Re listened to any parts that I may have missed by drifting off to sleep as I listen to these stories on a timer as I try to sleep....I really enjoyed it and it put a totally different spin on the whole dynamic and how each person views it.

Stories are great
Love this book and the stories but the woman narrator's voice doesn't sit well with me. Unfortunately

Oboyoboy!!
This is a book that should be read by those who are brave and open minded about 'story lines'...this book was almost too difficult to 'read'...still, I love Mr. King's books ...all of them..I have them all...this is one I've listened to a couple of times because I really liked the the three stories in this book and the narrators chosen were chosen well...its a great listen....if your of strong mind then give it a go....

Thought provoking and entertaining
The first story was more gruesome with detail than I normally like but a good solid story you will want to see through till the end. The other 3 stories all intrigued me.

believe the title
these are really interesting stories, but as another reviewer said, they are very dark at times and may be too much for some readers.
1922- pretty good, better than the movie and good ending.
Big driver- not sure what women will think of a man's take on being a female victim of sexual assault. that said, good story if somewhat implausible timeline and engaging until the end.
fair extension - short but great. an interesting take on an old idea.
a good marriage - a really great story idea based on an idea lots of people have wondered about; what if your spouse / partner had a horrible secret life that you found out about. great idea, execution and ending.
if you find the stories, or even the idea behind them too dark, I found it helpful to listen to the afterward. in this king explains the ideas behind them and why he felt it was important to explore them.
