Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Pain, horror, fear - these are the things that have comprised best-selling novelist Lance Metzger's life. His childhood remains a riddled wasteland of abuse by a sadistic father and abandonment by an apathetic mother. In turn his only refuge became his writing. When Lance loses his ability to write and becomes haunted by a nightmare that he'd thought was buried, he is drawn inexplicably to a house on the shores of Lake Superior, where he finds his muse once again - but something is waiting for him when he arrives.

Just After Sunset - call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King.

Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn’t want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King’s most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low-grade - but escalating - battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice.

Disappointing
The the story plots and character development were passably good. The AI narration ruined them for me : Cold, unemotional delivery in a fake British accent makes for an unpleasant "read". The AI isn't working, Audible!

Not my favorite
Didn’t know it was an AI narrative. It took away from the stories. Also didn’t know it was a collection of stories that ended abruptly. Would not have used a credit. I’ll learn to be more careful. I’ve been a King fan forever but this did not measure up for me.

The stories
This was pretty good. The computer generated voice and the neutral names made it difficult to tell if the people in the stories were male or female. Good Stories though.

Unfortunate choice with AI
The AI voice ruined what would have been another great set of stories from King. Mispronouncing basic words, bad accent and no soul ruined the entire experience. I couldn’t even finish the stories.

AI Voice
The story was actually pretty good, or what I could tolerate of it. The AI voice was absolutely horrible. There’s no tone or inflection and it just made the story unbearable. Sadly, I was only able to listen to about the first hour before I had to turn it off, and just could not finish. Don’t waste your time with any of the AI voice books.

Horrible Reading
The stories themselves aren't that bad. The reading is abominable though. I couldn't continue to listen, it's like listening to a robot read.

Beware: Virtual Voice (Cringeworthy).
So…reading of stories is done by Virtual Voice. There is a minuscule attempt at emotion but the emotional affect is often incorrect. Cadence never changes, therefore pauses between characters is missing. Emotional content in a character’s speech is poorly portrayed. The reading lacks the nuance a Human Reader is capable of performing. I deleted the other 3 mini volumes, cringed through The Birth of Evil, then deleted the remainder of The Darkness. I am surprised Stephen King finds this type of performance of his work acceptable. I may be willing to try Virtual Voice readings in a year or two from now but totally unsatisfactory at this time.
