- In "Lunch At The Gotham Café", Steve Davis is suffering through intense withdrawal---from both nicotine and his wife. His desperation for a cigarette and for his ex are almost too much to bear, but that's nothing compared to the horrors that await him at a trendy Manhattan restaurant.
In "1408" Mike Enslin, best selling author of "true" ghost stories, decides to spend the night in New York City's most haunted hotel room. But he must live to write about it without the help of his ex best-friends, his trusty smokes.
And in, "In The Deathroom", a man named Fletcher is held captive in a South American stronghold. His captors will use any tortuous means necessary to extract the information they want from him. His only hope lies with his last request---one last cigarette, please. - Розваги
I live in Maine about 10 miles away from Stephen King. Several years ago I worked in a grocery store and every once in a while i would see SK there. 😊
Live in Maine too, saw him at a McDonald's in Lewiston once.
I lived in Meijis, saw him around a lot ;-)
I saw him once; he is like 7 feet tall. No I didn't introduce myself because I read Misery and didn't want to freak him out by being his "greatest fan."
😂😂
I think Salems Lot was the best story he ever wrote. I read it while I was in High School and it had just come out. Scary stuff.
I met my ex husband in Florida,we got married and when he said he had family in Maine and wanted to move here, the main reason I considered it was because I loved Stephen King and I knew all his stories took place in Maine.❤️
I love it when Stephen King reads his own books! Thanks for posting these!
Yeah he woud know exactly how to read it, how to sound and everything.
Thanks so much, Denis Patrick McDonald ❣️ Unabridged and read by S K. What a treat, please keep them coming 🧡😻🧡
Quit smoking last Valentine’s Day! Gonna have to wait to start that one again listening to a list of cigarette brands is not what I need this moment lol
Thanks for posting these!
It’s probably a good sign of the times that other commenters don’t seem to recognize that the image is a stylized cigarette pack
For some reason I thought In the Death Room was on a similar tangent as Incident at Owl Creek Bridge. Happily wrong. Thanks, dude. You are a national treasure.
I also love hearing King read! Been an avid fan since running across The Shining (book form) in 1977❤
My favorite of SK was the Green Mile❣️ Both the movie with Tom Hanks and the pocket books sold in a series!
My gosh, i had this on cassette so many years ago ❤. Loved the stories.
I grew up on a lake in the Berkshires, so his descriptions of people and places ring very true for me. Makes me homesick!! A great writer, always enjoyed him, don't like his politics, but he's still my second favorite after Elmore Leonard.
Thanks heaps. Really enjoyed all the stories, especially with SK as the narrator
I am so delighted I have this when it was released on cassette I bought it from Waterstones in South Port Liverpool. I’ll ask the cassette broke after too much repeat plays and I could never get that on CD and I could only find bits of it on UA-cam I absolutely love the first two stories besides story And temporally couldn’t get what it was about. Thank you for uploading.
I was really hoping that the tape wouldn't snap when I was converting it to digital.
Ill bet he didn't think at 19 that we would still be begging for more stories AND we want him to read them to us. ❤❤🎉 57 years later
I have a smile from ear to ear because it's so true.xx
‘He” isn’t real 🤦
@@nasticanasta You are correct! Stephen is a hologram. He's merely an illusion, created by the United States Government. It is one of the biggest deceptions in history.
Sorry, I'm one of those that DON'T want him reading his stories. He doesn't have a storyteller's voice.
He was first published 50 years ago. in 1974.
Well, i know what i will listen to at work today. Thank you!
Thank you! This is perfect. Ive been hoping to hear his voice narrating 🎉
Thank you, Mr King. I enjoyed your reading of your stories. Always a treat to hear you read for some of your constant readers.
My favorites remain "Hearts in Atlantis," "The Green Mile," and of course, always the latest publication... the anticipation of that first new page from you.
Looks like a Campbell's Soup can
I thought my screen was cracked for a second
Yes!
It’s a stylized cigarette pack
@@OublietteCroneFlip top to be precise
Like Marlboros
Thanks for the stories,especially The Death Room. And Stephen King's narrations were decent indeed.
Plot twist: He was able and brave enough to try and escape the Ministry of Information because he knew precisely where and when the rebels would attack and it was at the very time and place of his "conversation"
This is great
Stephen, you are my hero.
Don't ever meet em
Thanks for sharing - appreciate a great story and Steve in the King!!
Humboldt will not be missed.
Wonderful! Thank you so much.
Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing :-D
I would have moved aside in that first story.
Yes! Marital problems solved 🎉
Great to hear the author read hs book and wow Stephen King....! I did not though expect him to sound as he does. I always imagined he had a deeper voice....
You've never seen him in any cameos in the movies made from his books?
@@Jeff-jw1rl not that I can remember
@@jkellis6646 Yeah buddy, he pops up in a good bit of the movies based on his books. In any event I love when he reads his stuff there's a few short stories of his here on UA-cam with him reading!! ✌️
Same here. I thought his voice would be deeper, and perhaps a bit slower.
I'm sorry he sounds like Casey Kasem but love love this story
Great first tale
Very good...thanks
Thanks!❤
None better than SK.
Thanks for sharing.
Must be a short book ? Thank u ,I'll take a listen!
These stories are all in Everythings Eventual.
It's in the title of the channel. 3 short stories.
@@matthewmyers3285 gotcha, thx !
I heard Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln and Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Lincoln was killed in Ford Theater. Kennedy was killed in a Ford automobile!!! Just coincidence!!!!!
Enjoyed these short stories in this manner. Not as satisfying as a SK novel but covers the Jonesing like a cigarette behind the ear. Unlit... This is my first SK since starting his novel where a car is driven into a crowd, don't recall the title, dunno why but that beginning creeped the hell outta me to the point where I still have no desire to continue reading. SK rang the bell on that one. Ding Ding Ding!! Lovecraft never started a book that affected me, that freaking freaked me out like that. Can someone remind me of the title of the SK novel that I referred to? I think the car... dunno. Guess I forgot the title as a defense mechanism. But *Edit by the cat* maybe finishing it should be on my bucket list. Gotta know. Gotta know how to kill ALL the monsters 👻
The only one I can recall he did about a possessed car was Christine
@@DennisPatrickMcDonald - Thanks for your input but it wasn't Christine. The one that was freaking me out was probably written within the last 8 years or so. I gotta go research it now but thanks anyways.
Mr Mercedes
@@bighitman84deebo16 - Ahhhhh thank you very much. I hadn't realized just how many SK novels existed or how many of them I hadn't read. I read all of his early works but very few of his recent ones.. I'll have to get a copy of MR MERCEDES and force myself to finish it and learn how to kill it's specific monster(s). Thanks again.
Look for the trilogy. Mr. Mercedes, Under Debbie's Blue Umbrella and a third can't remember title
Didn't like 3rd story. Felt like we just got the end of it😮
Interesting to hear the author read his own work :-)

"Speeded up" ?!? I thought it was *sped up*
Makes ya' wonder.
Cover looks like something Andy Warhol painted.
😅😊
Thank you and FJB

Stories from the CIA
I didn't get it, Eeeeeee! What did that mean
ah shit happens
I've got these on cassette, it opens like a big pack of cigs ❤❤
do people still buy his books?..
I'm sorry... WHAT??? I'm unclear on what you're asking...
@@purplepaisleypassion the quality of his writing has declined so much...i was wondering if he still sold books...
@MrOssolo55 holy cow YES people still buy his books! Many (not me, necessarily) people feel that he is better than ever! But I have friends that look forward to getting them as soon as they come out.
@@purplepaisleypassion well...to each their own...
@@purplepaisleypassion it was a rhetorical question...

Noises and music very annoying
His voice is awful ha
He may be a very creative imaginative writer, but it doesn’t mean he’s capable of reading his own work. Arrogance on his part. Yes, I don’t like his narration at all except this story, funnily enough. When I bought the cassette of the stories in the 90s he was reading this all of the stories so I I’m just used to hearing these stories read by him alone I’m sure since then that other than the writers that have read the same stories, but I think because I’m so used to reading them I wouldn’t like The other narrator..
i lost all respect for him when he started writing pc books...
He's an excellent author. Not such an excellent narrator, however.... it's unpolished. Like he literally phoned it in.
And that loud saxophone at the beginning of the 2nd story.... so annoying! Too bad, I've enjoyed his books since I was 12.
Totally agree that saxophone is sleazy no way helps the story at all. It’s just annoying. I find Kings voice snake like is the only way I can describe it. He doesn’t have a lot of expression in his voice. He should let other narrator read his work.
Thank you!
Boring garbage
This is just another re-release of short stories .at one time in my life, all i ever wanted was to meet Stephen King,..
Capitalism has 9 4th-MB0-003 ÿÿ t lgiven him so much not no rock stars or movie actor i would have
