About this listen

At midnight comes the point of balance. Of danger. The instant of utter stillness when, between two beats of the heart, an alternative reality can slip through, like a blade between the ribs, and switch you into a new and terrifying world.

Four Past Midnight: four heart-stopping accounts of that moment when the familiar world fractures beyond sense, the fragments spinning away from the desperate, clutching reach of sanity....

©1990 Stephen King (P)1991 Penguin Highbridge Audio Fantasy Fiction Scary Heartfelt

As expected some great stories but not as strong as some of his other 'novella' collections. Let down by poor narration. The narrator's British accent in the Langoliers is both comical and awful

Each story takes you into itself so completely that continued listening is mandatory. The narrators added a splash of interest but as usual it is the masterful stories that make this a five star read. Thank you Mr King.

Absolutely loved all the stories. Narration was excellent by all. Well worth a listen. Creepy, intelligent and dream like.

Superb

It's a fantastic book, but every time the narrator tries to do a female voice it comes out god awful. It's putting off and revolting. Like he tries to scream while pinching his nose. The male voice overs on the other hand are pretty good. It just seems like he has never heard a women in his entire life. Just do a slightly deferent accent, dude, don't turn this into a creep show.

Please don't ever let this narrator voice women

Love Kings short stories
The Langoliers is one of my favourite little TV films so was great to hear it as written
Not seen the film of Secret Window, will have to see if it’s as good as the story
Both other stories were excellent too
Good characters in all stories

Another good collection
