About this listen

In this classic collection of four novellas, the grand master takes you on irresistible journeys into the far reaches of horror, heartache and hope.

'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption' is the story of two men convicted of murder - one guilty, one innocent - who form the perfect partnership as they dream up a scheme to escape from prison.

In 'Apt Pupil' a golden schoolboy entices an old man with a past to join in a dreadful union.

'The Body' sees four young boys venture into the woods and find life, death...and the end of innocence.

'The Breathing Method' is the tale of a doctor who goes to his club and discovers a woman determined to give birth - no matter what.

I enjoyed each of these. I knew the body from stand by me, one of my favourites over the years I have watched in excess of 50x and enjoyed how well they adapted the movie to the original text. The other stories were new to me and it took a while to enjoy the breathing method but I got there in the last hour. Well worth a read. My second king book, I’ll be working through more from my list now!

all 4 stories in this book are amazing. I've watched stand by me 1000 times and the book definitely out does the movies especually with the narrators voice. But it could do with book mark for each story.

Awesome starter book

The Shawshank Redemption is the only story I can think of where I can honestly say the Movie is better than the book ......
Big call I know
But.... having said that it did clear up a few details and add a few the movie left out so all up a satisfying read .
I did find it hard to relate to Red as a red headed Irishman ......
Apt pupil was disturbing but well written (I haven't seen the movie)
The Body was an awesome coming of age story which I really enjoyed (also never watched the movie but plan to now)
Having never been into horror story's I was surprised how much I liked the last story and it has given me pause to consider looking forward not some of Kings other works I never would have considered before .

Classic King

Excellent stories and narration! I was already familiar with Shawshank and The Body, having seen the movies numerous times. I enjoyed listening to them in this format, but obviously knew where the stories were going. I was enthralled by Apt Pupil and The Breathing Method; being completely new to them, I had no prior awareness of what they were about. I really enjoyed this collection. Nice little ‘afterword’ by Stephen King too. The narrator was wonderful.

4 great stories; all different; all exceptionally told.
