My son and I listened to this on a recent road trip and we were slightly lost while listening to One Hell Of a Band which made it all the more creepier. The first story was as my son put it "uncomfortable" and hard to follow. Loved the readers and as always I'm a huge King fan.

Well, classic Stephen King, but not my favorite by any means. I enjoyed the readings of these which were well cast, and there were some startlingly creepy moments. Of the stories in this collection some weird, some just odd, all full of the description any King fan expects.

It Grows on You - read by Stephen King - and okay story...like a prelude to The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer and her saga of living at Rose Red (which may or may not have been written by Stephen King)

The Fifth Quarter - read by Gary Sinise - I wish this one had been longer. It felt like there was more story that wasn't told. I felt cheated, a lot like the characters in the book.

You Know They Got a Hell of a Band read by Grace Slick - this is the one that the reviews I read when they mentioned gross had to be speaking of, and um -- not really. Yeah, some gross things, but not really a major part of the story, and certainly not on level with some of his books. Anyway, I liked this eerie tale of getting lost in the woods.

The Night Flier read by Frank Muller - pretty much a straight up vampire tale. I was neither excited nor traumatized by this tale. It was okay.
