Consummate master of his craft, Stephen King has kept millions awake past midnight shivering at tales that probe the shadows and reveal the dark side. Now listeners can chill to this second dramatic unabridged production of short stories from his best selling book, Night Shift. It brings Stephen King's demonic stories fully to life - and the terror even closer to home.
Dropout drifter Hall has crossed the country doing whatever comes his way. Working the Graveyard Shift in a decaying Massachusetts mill under a bullying foreman is just one more leg in his crazy quilt journey, until it leads to a nether realm where the Rat Queen defends her empire. Things are never as they seem, as The Man Who Loved Flowers proves one perfect Spring evening on the sidewalks of New York. In The Last Rung on the Ladder beautiful Kitty hangs from dizzying heights above a hideous fate and, in Night Surf, a group of teenagers on a late summer beach watch the world end in a gruesome, viral whimper. The mind-numbing secrets of Jerusalem's Lot wait in an ancestral mansion where blood binds the Boone family to a timeless history of unspeakable evil.

"Excellent collection of shorts. Another one to keep handy. Many have already been made for either TV or screen. Good to read 'Jerusalem's Lot' before 'Salems Lot (but not necessary). Loved 'Trucks', 'Graveyard Shift' and too many to mention them all. " — SJuhl4 (4 out of 5 stars)

" A few stories were kind of boring, but there were at least 3-4 that were really good :D "
" Pretty much every story in this collection was awesome. Standouts were the two taking place in Salem's Lot. "
" LOVED it. Scared me senseless. "
" I enjoyed most of the stories, especially the ones that connect with Salem's Lot. The last story totally lost me and I thought it was quite boring. But overall I liked this book. "
" Guessing at the date. Some of the stories were better than others. "
" Some fairly memorable stories make this collection a very chilly one. "Night surf", later expanded into the Stand, "Jerusalem's Lot" another story of ancient evil, and who will ever forget "Children of the Corn." "
" A great collection of shorts. My opinion, King has always shined best in his short stories. "
" There are a couple of good short stories here. Nothing too long, but I remember the house feeling big and lonely after reading that book for about an hour. "The Man Who Liked Flowers" left me with a creepy feeling. Some of it felt like it was written by a young person. "
" What a great introduction to Stephen King. I really liked about 85% percent of the stories--though the last story concerning assisted suicide was quite a downer to end on. "
" This is one of my very favorite books of all time. "
" A creepy bunch of short stories by Stephen King, all of them ending very ambiguously, as I can guess is his style when it comes to short stories. "
" Da piccolo sono stato un grande amante del primi King, in particolare questa raccolta di racconti è uno dei suoi migliori, in poche pagine riesce a terrorizzarti... in particolare il racconto "baubau" è assolutamente SPAVENTOSO! "
" Couldn't read Stephen for a long time after this book. "
" it shows that king was developing his talents as he wrote these stories "
