You always get your money’s worth with mega-bestselling author Stephen King. The guy knows how to fill up pages, and although it’s no 1,000-plus tome like “The Stand,” “Never Flinch,” his seventh Holly Gibney outing, is 448 pages strong. To be sure, King has more to offer than a solid page-to-cost ratio. He could write the book equivalent of bubble wrap and I would still want to read it, but what is delivered — swathed in shipping material — sometimes fails to meet expectations.

Yes, Stephen King, we like it darker--especially when Will Patton narrates the 12 new stories in this audiobook. Patton's usually soft voice explodes with excitement when necessary. Some of the entries from the lengthy collection are crime related, and there's not a single vampire, alien or werewolf to be found. Others are typical King horror fests. "Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream," is a 68-chapter novella that dwarfs the rest of the bite-sized works.
