LT's Theory of Pets

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Stephen King

LT has a theory about pets, particularly his Siamese cat. It had been their cat, not just his cat, but that was until he came home one day to find a note on the fridge from his wife saying she had left him.

Recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall in London, this story demonstrates yet again that no one can tell a tale like Stephen King. Available only in audio!

These unabridged selections also appear in the print edition of Everything's Eventual. More unabridged stories from Everything's Eventual are available in Blood and Smoke, Riding the Bullet, "The Man in the Black Suit", and Everything's Eventual.

A+++

I thought Stephen King was great, and love to see his humorous side. Very fun book, should make you laugh.

Love the story, love that Stephen King read it, but still hate the language!

Love this story. Stephen King is awesome reading this to the audience. I love his writing and always have. But I’ve always disliked his gratuitous use of vulgar language. His writing is beautiful on its own, there’s absolutely no use for the “rude” language as he calls it. Just wish he wouldn’t use it at all, but that’s me & not everyone thinks this way. Good story, great start and middle, and disturbing ending. Kind of like the two sentence story we had to read and analyze in English Lit class…never truly know what happens to LuLuBelle and never will.

A cute short story

If your trying out his writting and just want to see how he writes and are new to his work then this is a really great read! Also if you have a dog or a cat or know people who do this bring a funny new idea into light! I was pointed to this book by a friend after she said this is what made her start to read some of his works! Its a story that will have you luaghing but the ending is kinda strange! I love this book and being a young writter myself to be I honor this work! Its something that is really quite shocking for the Father of Horror!

Love king Reads

This was a good story, but what steaks it is King reading it himself! Love it!! Will listen to this over and over!

A short story as read by the author

Stephen King, in this live reading, tells the audience that this started out to be a funny story... but then, as much of his work does, it drifts into something else. Something more in King's wheelhouse. No, it's not straight up horror, nor is it straight up comedy. It's both, and neither, occupying that unsettling middle ground. Is that bad? Not at all. Is it good? I found it a pleasant listen. In the end, we see that King is, despite his detractors, a fine artist, masterful in using them to convey strong emotions with, seemingly no effort. The man can write.

Now for the rundown...
profanity? Some.... not excessive in my opinion
sex? Only discussed, if somewhat graphically.
violence? Implied and an aftermath of some is discussed.

Recommendation? For Stephen King fans, a definite buy.
For straight up horror fans, probably a pass
For someone looking for a short but interesting story with some light and dark moments, yes... this is a good fit.

Note: At this time, this story is not available in print, either in physical or electronic forms, to my knowledge.

A Favorite

This is a favorite of mine. A short story that I find interesting. It is a bit of a variation from the typical horror story but the way Stephen King tells a story is always compelling.

Very intriguing!

I truly enjoyed this book! it kept me wanting more after each page. I also enjoyed Stephen King being t h ed narrator.

Loved IT!!!

This was a great short story made better by the master himself narrating it. I loved seeing Stephen King’s humorous side too. Great listen!

Wickedly Funny

I bought this book because I thought it would be just what I needed to fall to sleep to. Not a good idea! The first part of the book was so funny, I had to stiffle my laughter to keep from waking my husband. Pet owners will love it. And in spite of the humor, Stephen King delivers his usual magic by warping the story into weirdness by the end.

Liked the story

Love Stephen King. The story was pretty funny. I did think it ended rather abruptly.
