Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 759
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

There is a serial killer terrorizing the largely rural twin tiers region of Pennsylvania and upstate New York. He enjoys conversation and torture, and leaves behind a calling card. Each of his victims are marked with the letters CR. He is always one step ahead of the police as he kills those who have names from characters in Stephen King novels.

Pain, horror, fear - these are the things that have comprised best-selling novelist Lance Metzger's life. His childhood remains a riddled wasteland of abuse by a sadistic father and abandonment by an apathetic mother. In turn his only refuge became his writing. When Lance loses his ability to write and becomes haunted by a nightmare that he'd thought was buried, he is drawn inexplicably to a house on the shores of Lake Superior, where he finds his muse once again - but something is waiting for him when he arrives.

It's the perfect time for Stephen King.

When an unexploded bomb was identified on the seabed near Nyberg’s windfarm, Ida sent a local crew of eight men to investigate.

Disappointing
The the story plots and character development were passably good. The AI narration ruined them for me : Cold, unemotional delivery in a fake British accent makes for an unpleasant "read". The AI isn't working, Audible!

Not my favorite
Didn’t know it was an AI narrative. It took away from the stories. Also didn’t know it was a collection of stories that ended abruptly. Would not have used a credit. I’ll learn to be more careful. I’ve been a King fan forever but this did not measure up for me.

AI Voice
The story was actually pretty good, or what I could tolerate of it. The AI voice was absolutely horrible. There’s no tone or inflection and it just made the story unbearable. Sadly, I was only able to listen to about the first hour before I had to turn it off, and just could not finish. Don’t waste your time with any of the AI voice books.

Beware: Virtual Voice (Cringeworthy).
So…reading of stories is done by Virtual Voice. There is a minuscule attempt at emotion but the emotional affect is often incorrect. Cadence never changes, therefore pauses between characters is missing. Emotional content in a character’s speech is poorly portrayed. The reading lacks the nuance a Human Reader is capable of performing. I deleted the other 3 mini volumes, cringed through The Birth of Evil, then deleted the remainder of The Darkness. I am surprised Stephen King finds this type of performance of his work acceptable. I may be willing to try Virtual Voice readings in a year or two from now but totally unsatisfactory at this time.
