#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s terrifying novella about a town engulfed in a dense, mysterious mist as humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction—originally published in the acclaimed short story collection Skeleton Crew and made into a TV series, as well as a feature film starring Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden.In the wake of a summer storm, terror descends...David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton join dozens of others and head to the local grocery store to replenish supplies following a freak storm. Once there, they become trapped by a strange mist that has enveloped the town. As the confinement takes its toll on their nerves, a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody, begins to play on their fears to convince them that this is God’s vengeance for their sins. She insists a sacrifice must be made and two groups—those for and those against—are aligned. Clearly, staying in the store may prove fatal, and the Draytons, along with store employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller, attempt to make their escape. But what’s out there may be worse than what they left behind. This exhilarating novella explores the horror in both the enemy you know—and the one you can only imagine. Review: Okaish book - Things rarely go wrong with Stephen King . This also was a good short story . Well flushed out characters . Kept me excited till the very end . But unfortunately the ending was a little disappointing. Review: Cheaper replacement - If the price of this is still sky-rocketed, just buy Skeleton Crew - short story collection by King which originally contained this story. Plus, you get many other good short stories by King along with it.

Love the King
I got back into reading thanks to Stephen King, having stopped reading after graduating high school. After working through some of his works, 'The Shining' being the novel that truly wet my mouth for more, I ventured off to taste the work of other authors. I was safe with the King but that couldn't be what reading was about for me, or eventually I'd find myself without anything else to read, thus giving up reading for a second and possibly final time. So it has been a few months since my last King book, and reading 'The Mist' reminded me how potent good writing can be. I LOVE 'The Mist'. I saw the movie first, years ago, and was dumbstruck. This novel only solidifies my gawking at his horror. This book doesn't just present you with evil monsters outside in the mist. In fact, King reveals the monsters INSIDE the store, and the psychology of fear and anger and the deadly combination of the two. Mob mentality is truly something to witness, and King brings us as close as he can while tempers rose and fear swallows them up resulting in death and more death. Being as I just finished, I could ramble on forever honestly. This is a quick, gripping novella that shows Kings teeth are as sharp regardless of his story's length. If you haven't read any King before (how can that be?!) then this is a great story to start with. If you have experience with King but haven't experienced 'The Mist', do something nice for yourself and dive in!

完成度の高い中編小説
キングの有名な小説。ただのミスト（霧）が化け物のように変化していき、その不透明な視界の中に人間同士の葛藤や怨憎、暴力の予感が蠢く。ホラー要素もあり…英語（超）上級者向けだと感じました。

Short, sweet, nice day time read.
Slimmer than the other King books I currently have, I was surprised with how much the director of the movie adaptation had done with the source material. It's a "fun" book, if fun can be a word for King's titles. It was a quick read and well worth the time I spent with it.
