Full Dark, No Stars Audiobook

Quotes

• “King [is] the most wonderfully gruesome man on the planet…The pages practically turn themselves.”

  — USA Today

• “As in Different Seasons, King takes a mostly nonfantastic approach to grim themes. Now, as then, these tales show how a skilled storyteller with a good tale to tell can make unsettling fiction compulsively readable.”

  — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

• “Craig Wasson takes on two of the stories, and his raspy voice is a pleasure to listen to. The main characters in ‘1922’ and ‘Fair Exchange’ are not young men, and his mature gruffness and easy delivery are perfect… the strength of the stories keeps the listener enthralled.”

  — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

• “Wasson has an earnest, intelligent everyman quality that appears to reflect the character’s inner nature at first but eventually serves as an effective contrast. Hecht’s warm, sweet voice perfectly fits that of a woman from a nicely settled life who is now brutally jolted from her comfort zone and making ruthless choices to restore a semblance of peace.”

• “Returning to the novella—possibly his brightest canvas—King provides four raw looks at the limits of greed, revenge, and self-deception. The first, ‘1922,’ is an outright masterpiece…Rarely has King gone this dark, but to say there are no stars here is crazy.”

• “Another collection of satisfying short stories…This quick and more brutal King installment will be in high demand for horror/thriller readers and dedicated King fans. Public libraries, order multiple copies.”
