Stephen King's unparalleled imagination is in full force in this collection of four unabridged short stories originally found in the classic, Nightmares & Dreamscapes. An all-star cast of readers bring to life these timeless stories from the darkest places, including the tale Dolan's Cadillac: soon to be a feature film starring Christian Slater, Wes Bentley, and Emmanuelle Vaugier. A widowed husband spends seven years plotting revenge for his wife's murder in Dolan's Cadillac. A school teacher discovers her students are not what they seem in Suffer the Little Children. In Crouch End, a woman fears that supernatural events may have led to her husband's disappearance. And in Rainy Season, a young couple is forced into the ultimate battle of Man vs. Nature when torrential rain turns deadly. Rob Lowe, Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Curry, and Yeardley Smith lend their voices to this haunting collection of classic stories that no Stephen King fan should be without.

Even if you don't like Stephen King, you have to admit that he's a darn good storytellerIf you're wondering what MIGHT scare him you have but to read, or in my case listen to DOLAN'S CADILLAC.The imagination of this man is boundless and as creepy as slugs and centipedes slithering up your legs in the dark.DOLAN'S CADILLAC is written, in MY opinion, in his old psychological eerie Richard Bachman style.The Audio book includes Rob, Lowe, Whoopee Goldberg, Tim Curry and Yeardley Smith. KING himself includes a brief insight into his style and why he (like me) still thinks short stories are still his favorite form of writing.I will not give away the plot, but if you know anything about SK you know that he uses every possible angle to lure you in then PUSH something awful, something frightening right in your face.Dolan's Cadillac is four short stories ending with the Title tale which is the longest.Whoopie Goldberg does a great job on SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN, a small peek into the minds of littlin's when their spirit might not be so little?The always splendid Tim Curry with his deep English accented voice takes you on a journey the CROUCH END a town that has an undercurrent of something sinister.Will you get out? can you get out?Stephen King has a really dark humorous side he will use something as everyday as a simple innocents amphibious creature to wreak havoc on a town every seven years and only when NEWBIES come to live but are warned with the truth, and still they do not believe.The 'oldsters' are typical New Englanders with their EAH'S and CAAR, speech, but clearly accepting of a phenomenon that they have come to know as THE RAINY SEASON.
"Dolan's Cadillac and Other Stories" is a collection of audio CDs with four short stories from King's "Nightmares & Dreamscapes" anthology. Each story is read by an actor or performer of some sort, and I would say that this collection in particular has a strong line up of high profile readers... the stories, on the other hand, aren't really the picks of the litter. Even so, there's a wide variety available here in terms of tone and theme, so I have no doubt most will find something to like here.Disc 1: "Introduction" read by Stephen King -- The author his ownself reads the introduction from the paperback version, and it's a pretty good way to start things off. King has always been good at bringing his readers inside his head, so this is a welcome dalliance that shows his respect for his audience and the often neglected short medium.Disc 1: "Suffer the Little Children" read by Whoopi Goldberg -- That's right, Whoopi reads this story of a teacher that finds out that her students are being taken over by something unearthly. This is some HEAVY stuff considering Goldberg's reputation; however, she does a tremendous job with the character and creates a believable, engrossing voice for the character. The story isn't nearly up to snuff, ending too quickly and featuring an anemic middle section that could of used a few more incidents to motivate the main character. 3 stars.Disc 2: "Crouch End" read by Tim Curry -- A Lovecraftian homage read by one of my favorite actors? YES please! The story takes a while to get going and never hits the epic stride of Lovecraft's best stories, but as a little spook tale of things unnamable, this one is quite good.
