About this listen

 For the first time in unabridged audio download comes the perennial classic from Stephen King - timeless and topical.

The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed.

Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.

Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.

But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.

A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.

Critic Reviews

King can make the flesh creep half a world away
So beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in
The most frightening novel Stephen King has ever written
Wild, powerful, disturbing
All stars
Most relevant
by far the most disturbing book ive ever heard, the performance perfectly matches the content. be warned if you're a parent this book will stab at you in horrid places you didn't know existed, I don't regret it but the kind of raw horror in this book is something I probably could have happily lived without.

amazingly horrific

A good and interesting story, although long-winded like Stephen King’s other works. He really likes to build suspense up very slowly.

Good but long winded

Cannot give this enough praise; the book itself is a terrifying classic, and Michael C. Hall's reading is just incredible. He gives characters their own voices without it being hokey, making it easier to fall into the story, and his narration is faultless. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing!
