The Lawnmower Man and Other Stories from Night Shift

Now that Ive listened to the THREE volumes of this series, I can report that One For the Road, Children of the Corn, Trucks and I am the Doorway are missing.

I have found only three audiobooks here that contain short stories from Night Shift, and after reviewing all three of them, only 16 of the 20 stories from Night Shift are available. The four missing shorts are \’One For the Road\’, \’Children of the Corn\’, \’Trucks\’, and \’I am the Doorway\’. I cannot seem to find these four stories anywhere in Audible. Where are they?

Stephen King is a known quantity, and this collection neither disappoints nor blows you away. My only real comment is on the performance. The reader is okay, although IMO tries to hard to inject feeling into the story. But the real problem is the music and sound effects. Most Stephen King audio books have music here and there; short fillips, as it were. Accents to the story. Sometimes they work and sometimes they dont, but theyre usually pretty unobtrusive and let the story take center stage. Unfortunately, the producers of this collection felt they had to go farthermaybe they didnt trust the material?and the result is not only distracting but quite annoying. Further, there are times when the music and effects actually drown out the reader, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of an audio book. Good stories; decent performance; irritating effects.

If you like Stephen King short stories then these are for you. The narrator does a good job of making you believe he was telling you the story like it had happened to him. Definitely a good listen over and over again.

Volume fluctuates and there is constantly static turning on and off in the background. This book desperately needs a re-do.
