This edition features a stunning vintage cover design! #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--now available as a stand-alone edition. David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton head to the local grocery store to replenish supplies following a freak storm. Once there, they and other local citizens are trapped by a strange mist that has enveloped the town and in which strange creatures are lurking. As the mist takes its toll on the nerves of those trapped in the store, a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody begins to play on their fears to convince them that this is God's vengeance for their sins and that a sacrifice must be made and two groups--those for and those against--are aligned. When it is realized that staying in the store may prove fatal, a small group including the Draytons, store employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller attempt to make their escape. They find that what's "out there" may be worse than what they left behind. Originally published in King's acclaimed collection, Skeleton Crew, this exhilarating novella proves why Stephen King is a master storyteller in short form.

One of the most gripping books you'll ever read
Lauren K. - 6 years 4 months 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 4 months 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!
