Four Past Midnight

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: James Woods, Tim Sample, Willem Dafoe, Ken Howard

The #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King—four chilling novellas that will “grab you and not let go” (The Washington Post).

ONE PAST MIDNIGHT: The Langoliers takes a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston into a most unfriendly sky. Only eleven passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn’t.

TWO PAST MIDNIGHT: Secret Window, Secret Garden enters the suddenly strange life of writer Mort Rainey, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake—until the mysterious John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger.

THREE PAST MIDNIGHT: The Library Policeman has his terrifying sights set on businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind. But another enemy lurks as well—the truth—and if Sam can find it in time, he might stand a chance.

FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT: The Sun Dog comes in the form of a looming supernatural menace, appearing in every picture that young Kevin Delevan takes with his new camera. Pop Merrill, Castle Rock’s sharpest trader, aims to exploit it for profit—but this creature is a very dangerous investment.

Where does Four Past Midnight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was a good collection although not my favorite of King's.

What did you like best about this story?

Langoliers

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I was so surprised and pleased to see that James Woods was narrating one of the stories, but believe it or not, it was a terrible reading. he rushed through much of the dialogue and did what I would call a poor job overall. Very disappointing considering I love him as an actor. Craig Wasson is by far one of the very best narrators of King's books IMO.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What you don't know can hurt you...

Langoliers and Sundog makes it worth it

Get it for 1&4. They were excellent. Secret Window is good but not the best& the library policeman (3) was simply exhausting it took perseverance to get through & I was so happy to move on. Sundog and Langoliers were worth it though

this set of Stephen Kings stories was amazing.

this is an amazing set of stories and Stephen King is such a great story writer. I love all his books!

Entertaining

the stories were decent but this was not hiding best work...I would say the narrators made the book

All good but for the audio quality.

These are the stories that got me into Stephen King as a kid. Loved listening to them again. Just wished that the quality of the audio would be better.
