The Mist by Stephen King
3.0
(3.5; Audiobook)
My first foray into the “King” realm!
Fantastic read but I’m conflicted on the amount of stars to give - primarily because the early 2000s adaptation of “The Mist” was playing through my mind the entire time. The movie is a pretty accurate depiction of the book, aside from 2-3 differences (at least according to my memory of the movie).
This novella is definitely worth your time; don’t let the 3.5 stars fool you. It’s a good book with a good story-telling. Seeing the movie first definitely skewed my rating since none of the information was new to me but I loved being able to read the original text and see the cosmic horror elements play out. I would genuinely love to know more about what is in the mist and why/how it got there! I’ll likely do some googling to see if Reddit has some recommendations on the lore of the mist.
Great short read! Good spooky story! And all around good time!
