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.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

AI not really about the story
This is hard to listen to maybe because I am a like a super fan of a few narrators.
It was so difficult to tell when characters changed, so some parts I had to listen to again because it didn’t make sense
AI also doesn’t have a grasp of inflection so this was a terrible book to sample AI with. I’m glad it was free but would probably pay for a version read by a narrator even a poor one would be hard pressed to be this bad.
Long review short good book poor narration.

Great Fiction
I enjoyed the stores. Stephen , King goes where other people fear to tread. He broaches what is usually taboo subject and he does it very well.
The AI narrator leaves a lot to be desired, and almost calls me to not finish the stories. However, I am glad I did.

Horrible narration
The stories were great overall, I would watch a movie of them, However the narration had me lost and I couldn’t really tell when the story line would change.

Unusual stories by King
I wrote review below before I knew this was not THE Stephen King but an author with same name and middle initial R. Duh! The review can stand though, I assume that is why this was a free choice on Audible.
There were six short stories by King included in this collection and most of them didn’t seem like traditional King. Although I did enjoy some of them. I did get used to the virtual voice narrator after a while but it was difficult to know when the story shifted characters when the characters’ voices didn’t change. This set of stories felt like a group of experimental ideas that were pulled together (sitting in one of King’s draft folder) to create a book for the sake of publishing another book. I did enjoy it from the standpoint of understanding King’s range. You’ll enjoy these if you like shocking horror, science fiction, and are just interested in seeing a different King.

The first story was about necrophilia. I was not impressed.
I thought I’d give it a try, but it just wasn’t very good. I will definitely not be reading anymore of his books in the future and he’s definitely nothing like the other Stephen King.

Stephen King stories are the best!
I did not like the virtual voice, there were long pauses when there shouldn't have been and the mispronounced words are unforgiving.
