Publisher's summary

Dick Morrison's life has become a nightmare of addictions, filling his days with overeating, overworking, and smoking way too much. When an old friend tells him about a surefire way to quit, he's more than willing to give it a shot. But what Dick doesn't know is that Quitters, Inc. demands a high price from anyone who strays from their rigid rules-like a few volts of electricity for the nearest and dearest... or maybe a missing thumb? Forced to choose between his desperate need for cigarettes and the dire consequences of giving in to his addiction, Dick must decide just how important another drag really is.

Classic King

What did you love best about Quitters, Inc.?

Short and sweet but definitely classic King!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!!

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy Stephen King's short stories, you will love this book... quick and easily done in one session (less than 45 mins) but has that ending you know you don't expect but there it is! Love this book.

Nice short story, but.....

Nice short story, but the music they play intermittently was annoying to me. It may be a preference thing, but I found it distracting. I also felt the reader was a little too fast. Still an overall good listen

A brilliant but twisted story from the master!!

Qquitters Inc was an extremely funny but twisted short story! I'm a smoker and I honestly believe that the methods in this story would even be enough to get me off the butts!!! The only thing I didn't care for was the narrator, but the story was only 45 minutes long and so good I barely noticed! The guy who narrates Stephen King's novel, 11.22.63, now the guy who narrated that book, in my opinion, should be narrating every single one of King's books as he has the perfect place to deliver long fascinating stories! Stephen King, you're a freaking genius!! Thanks for another great time!

Kicking the habit the hard way

Eric Roberts does an excellent job of narrating Stephen King's chilling tale of a man who inadvertently has to go to extreme lengths to quit his smoking habit. King's writing is so descriptive and plausible that you have to wonder if such and organisation might exist somewhere for the hardcore vice addicts. If only it went for longer.
