    About this audiobook

    Dick Morrison's life has become a nightmare of addictions, filling his days with overeating, overworking, and smoking way too much. When an old friend from college tells him about a surefire way to quit, he's more than willing to give it a shot. But what Dick doesn't know about Quitters, Inc. is their unconventional and brutal enforcement methods. Forced to choose between his desperate need for cigarettes and the dire consequences of giving in to his addiction, Dick must decide just how important another drag really is.

      The Horror Within

      Aug 29, 2020

      Stephen King’s supreme craftsmanship lies in his ability to allow the reader to build up the horror in her/ his mind instead of explicitly describing it. Most often, this horror lurks in the most mundane situations and in the most ordinary lives, unt

      Short and very delicious! I wasn't expecting the story to be as brief as it was, however, Stephen King never disappoints me and I truly enjoyed this chilling gem. Definitely worth a read AND a listen!

      It was alright. Definitely not his best but still had that good ol’ King vibe to it.
    • 2/5
      Pretty comedic actually. Not exactly King at his best- very basic in terms of suspense and story. I suppose it was an entertaining 40+ minutes though.

      I love Stephen King, and have read all of his books! This short story introduces animal, cruelty, and I hope readers will be where if they are sentimental to Animal’s like I am
    • 3/5
      Very fun story, but the narrator didn’t annunciate very well, making it hard to understand in places.
    • 5/5
      Excellent. Riveting for 43 minutes!
      I heard the whole story while waiting for my groceries
    • 1/5
      Ridiculous background music, didn't get past the first minute and I'm a huge Stephen King fan! The music competes with the narrator, who wants to waste time having to strain your way through an audio book?
