    King himself narrates several stories here, and a stellar ensemble cast handles the rest, each bringing their own darkness to tales that blur the line between ordinary and deeply unsettling. It's short fiction at its sharpest, where King's mastery of dread plays perfectly to the intimacy of audio.
