Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'The storm rolled across Long Lake in Maine with a fury, leaving David Drayton and his family with fallen trees, downed power lines, and no electricity. At his wife's request, David heads to the local supermarket to stock up on supplies, taking his young son and neighbor along for the ride. But the strange white mist that lingered on the lake has followed them to town, stranding them all in the store. Because something in the fog is taking people--and you can hear their screams...'

The Mist is one of King's best stories ever. If you haven't read it, do yourself a favor and read it. But don't buy this version. Buy Skeleton Crew; it's in there along with other great tales. You won't be disappointed.

Stephen King did a great job writing this. It's much better than the movie, because you use your own imagination.. no computer graphics. It's a little blunt at the end.. not unlike Stephen King's "The Cell"... but in my opinion was much better than "The Cell".

Enjoyed this little book. It wasn't scary or creepy though. King did not stray from who he is and what makes his stories stick. I wish we knew more at the ending...

This novella was originally included in the compilation titled Skeleton Crew. (which you should buy instead of the standalone)
I read this story prior to seeing the film version (which I also recommend). I thought it was another great example of King being able to bring characters to life. In this story they are more than just tools that move the plot along. The characters and their personalities carry the story.
A strong storm batters a small Maine town. After the storm a mist begins to roll in from across the lake an slowly envelopes the town, trapping the characters in this story in a grocery story. What follows is very suspenseful and suprisingly feels very realistic. It will keep you guessing until the end (which still may not leave you satisfied).
King is criticized for his endings (and they even changed this drastically for the film version), but his stories aren't about a large plot twist at the end (*cough, "the village") they are more about the journey. I think if you go into this one with that fact in mind you'll be much more pleased with the end result.

I really enjoyed the book with the people being traped in the Supermarket. I am going to order the movie at Christmas time. It's a bit like the movie Terror in the Mall only instead of water trapping them it is the Mist. The old woman in the book seemed crazy going on about death and saying it's death out there. If the book was excellent I can't wait to see the film when I get it.
I give this book 5 stars!
