Overview
#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.

One of the most gripping books you'll ever read
Lauren K. - 6 years agoThis is such a good book for horror fans!! First of all, it's quite short, so it's perfect if you're not looking for a full-length novel. Second of all, when I read this, I literally could not put it down! Seriously, this book is captivating, and you'll want to read it all in one sitting. It's a perfect blend of creepy and suspenseful and thrilling. #SummerReading

I think the title is really great and fitting for the storyline. I don’t think there is any better title for this book.
Kelsey B. - 6 years agoI was not expecting to love this book as much as I did! King really set up the plot and gives such good details about the characters. I definitely recommend The Mist if anyone needs a short, spooky story!
