stephen king audiobooks



If you think Stephen King's novels are chilling, well, listening to the author narrating them is even more so.



For example stephen king audiobooks Bag of Bones is a 22 hour audiobook narrated by the author himself.
When bestselling crime writer Mike Noonan’s wife dies, he suffers from writer’s block.
Until he is drawn from Derry to his lakeside retreat, Sara Laughs - a house once inhabited by a famous singer. It’s a community run by rich, tyrannical, wheelchair-bound Devore and his terrifying, skeletal female bookkeeper.

Devore is hell-bent on getting custody of his grandchild. Three year old Kyra and her young mother, Mattie, turn to Mike for help - and Mike, besotted by Mattie, is powerless to resist. But there are others at Sara Laughs determined to prevent Mike’s success - and Kyra can feel them too.... stephen king audiobooks are magic.


In this tense novel stephen king audiobooks Hearts in Atlantis, Stephen King is joined by Hollywood actor William Hurt who narrates this epic 21 hour war story

Taking its cue from the fractured times it describes between 1960 and today, each beautifully interwoven tale is deeply rooted in the sixties, each is haunted by the Vietnam war.
This is a book about a group of peers from small-town Harwich, Connecticut: in 1960, there's a newcomer to the town, who introduces Bobby Garfield to the joy of reading and the horrors of 'low men in yellow coats';
by 1966, it's bellbottom pants, pot, patchouli and peace-signs and at Maine University, Pete, who has fallen victim to the addictive game of ‘hearts in Atlantis’, will learn a lesson in humanity;
by 1983, 'Nam vet 'Blind Willie' is paying penance;
in 1999, there are reunions, funerals, and the eternal questions - 'why we're in Vietnam'; a year later, Bobby comes home to where his heart is, where the past is always present, as 'Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling'.
