The Man in the Black Suit

4 Dark Tales

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: John Cullum, Becky Ann Baker

"The face of the man in the black suit grows ever clearer, ever closer, and I remember every word he said. I don't want to think of him, but I can't help it, and sometimes at night my old heart beats so hard and so fast I think it will tear itself right clear of my chest."

A haunting recollection of a mysterious boyhood event, The Man in the Black Suit, read by John Cullum, leads off this masterful collection from Stephen King.

Other dark tales include: All That You Love Will Be Carried Away, read by Peter Gerety, in which a man checks into a Lincoln, Nebraska Motel 6 to find the meaning in his life; That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French, read by Becky Ann Baker, presents the ultimate case of deja vu; and The Death of Jack Hamilton, read by Arliss Howard, a blistering tale of Depression-era outlaws on the run.

Whether writing about encounters with the dead or the near-dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, Stephen King's The Man in the Black Suit is a gripping, intense listen.

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, LT's Theory of Pets, and Everything's Eventual.

Uneven but enjoyable

Not every story included here is stellar, but those that stood out were exceptionally suspenseful and well-crafted. Well worth the listen, but I couldn't give it 5 stars given some weaker material.

Classic Stephen King shorts!

Great stories amazing Readers

The same stories from "Everthings Eventual", don't make the same mistake that I did and buy this after Everthings Eventual.

The 1st story was great

I got bored after the 1st story and kept fast forwarding through all the rest of the stories

Excellent Favorite

I love this collection.

this is an old favorite of mine, tells the stories well.

all good

liked most of it..good writing good performance..i dont think the third story fits the theme well..but i listened

Steven Kings Man and n the Black Suit

Certainly better than much of the commercialized crap King has put out in the last 20yrs. Be willing to bet theses stories WERE written early in his career. Worth my FREE Audible credit.

Deja vu

It would be nice if Audible could note this collection of short stories is also part of another - previously purchased - collection by Stephen King. I loved the stories (again), but I wasted the credit for something I already had in my library.

Great quality narration!

I loved the sound effects with the story, the switches in tone used appropriately, and the speeds that sound very authentic

5 star collection of short stories

Fantastic Collection of short stories yet again. Great job. Keep up the amazing work Mr. King. 😁
