I love that one too. I agree about his short work. I've got 1408 on tape. King reads it himself, and really takes advantage of the book on tape format in a way I've never seen. Music plays the reading in and out, and the way it comes in to close out the story, it makes you jump out of your fucking skin. I've listened to it a couple time, it gets me a little even when I know it's there.
It was on a collection of three short stories loosely connected to smoking... at least one of them was exclusive to the tapes at the time, but they've all been in print by now. The other two stories were ok, but hindered because he tried to do an accent in both and didn't manage it too well. 1408 though... that's a great story.
Does anyone know what the name of this audio collection is? I need to get it!
