    Synopsis

    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...

    November 04, 2008: THE MIST was previously published back in the 1980's as a novella in the SKELETON CREW book of short stories. I had read it once, several years ago, but I'm glad I picked up a copy now.

    This is a very quick read -- about 2 hours -- since, as I mentioned, it's a novella and not a full-length novel. But it doesn't lessen any of the spooky, creepy, weirdness, which is always a plus.

    I'm highly interested in seeing the big-screen adaptation of this book, and hope it holds up to the story. I'm anxious to see the eeriness that is THE MIST in all its CGI glory!

    October 01, 2008: The mist is a novella from skeleton crew, extended and made into a short book. I loved this book, it was actually the first king book i had ever read, it slows down in parts and just when u get bored it picks right back up and gets ur heart pounding. GREAT book...HORRIBLE movie(the ending was the worst i had ever seen)
