Summary

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.

Excellent narrator

Two very well known stories and two other very intriguing stories that I was not familiar with all narrated beautifully by Frank Muller.

I have noted the chapters for the stories as I could not find this information elsewhere.

1 -4 Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption
5 - 34 Apt Pupil
35 - 68 The Body
69 - 71 The Breathing method
72 Afterword by Stephen King

Great value!

Great value of 4 books in one, but would be nicer if each book was labeled so I didn't have to go looking through each chapter trying to find the end of one book and the beginning of the next.

One of the Best King Books, top 5 at least

Any additional comments?

What a brilliant selection of stories. Many writers would be happy to have produced just one of these masterpieces in their life time and king comes out with four in one book.
You will know the Shawshank Redemption and the Body as they were extremely popular films (The Body was used as the basis for Stand By Me) All 4 stories are superb and a must for any King fan or someone just wanting to dip their toe into the King back catalogue.

So so good.

Maybe the best Stephen King book full stop. The performance is fantastic as well. Have listened to this a number of times and enjoyed every one.

excellent as ever

all 4 stories are gripping, and the narration is different on all four, even though all read by the same person.
they all feel different, as they should.

Kings best writing

It’s no surprise that two fantastic films have been produced from stories in this book as the quality of writing is superb.
In this book he showcases his talent for writing straight fiction as good as any contemporary author.
Do yourself a favour and read today

Love these stories, poor sound quality though

These novella's by King are iconic, all but one have been turned into movies.
The Breathing Method is one of the most moving, yet gruesome stories I have ever read.
