Story
Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.

Peaceful suburbia on Poplar Street in Wentworth, Ohio, takes a turn for the ugly when four vans containing armed "regulators" terrorize the street's residents, cold-bloodedly killing anyone foolish enough to step outside their homes. Houses mysteriously transform into log cabins, and the street now ends in what looks like a child's hand-drawn Western landscape. Masterminding this sudden onslaught is the evil creature Tak, who has taken over the body of an autistic eight-year-old boy, Seth Garin.

Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King's finest gifts to his constant fan. "I made them especially for you," says King.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Good Story Collection
I put this book off for a long time, as it was a short story collection. I am glad I finally picked it up. Each of the stories are good on their own, but I like how they intertwine within themselves and in one case with another King series. But to be honest I am not a fan of King's reading and wish he would leave it to others. Also I found the constant playing of music to be annoying, not needed and takes away from the book, This is why I gave the performance 3 stars. #Audible1

Mixed feelings
I am struggling to make it through this book. The narrator is annoying. When I start getting into the story either the way he narrator or the music pulls me out of it and takes me a while to get back into the listening zone.
Overall the story is good. So much ties into the Dark Tower series. It is like mortar, filling in gaps with info.
I wish there was another audiobook version with different narrator.

Better if William Hurt narrated whole book
This book is a collection of 5 somewhat connected stories. Hurt narrates 1, 4 and 5 and King narrates 2 & 3. Hurt's narration is fantastic, the way he uses pace really makes everything believable. I wish he did the whole book.
As for the stories themselves:
Low Men: great story, good length, Dark Tower tie-in, ending was fine but I wished it went another way.
Hearts in Atlantis: seemingly pointless story, good characters, I love the hearts card game so it wasn't terrible, this is the worst of the 5.
Blibd Willie: surprisingly good, small little twists, shorter but the right length
Why we're in 'Nam: decent story involving PTSD, good narration
Whatever the last one was called: acts sort of like an epilogue to Low Men in Yellow Coats and honestly this made me more OK with the chosen ending for Low Men.

A few hits, a few not quite hits.
LowMen in Yellow coats, is part of the Dark Tower series and as such I ADORED it. I also adore Hurt's narration. He speaks impeccably well and takes his time, I thoroughly enjoyed him.
My least favourite was Hearts in Atlantis, it was funny, and sweet and So much what I remember of the 60s, and Hearts. (He also played Wist) We fondly remember Oches's I'm not marching anymore. I've got used to
Stephen's narration, but it's not polished like Hurt's.
John Hurt's back for Why We're in Vietnam, another one I like a great deal.
Hoping for Bobby to bring it all home in the last story. He did and that makes this a success.

Not worth it.
couldnt finish. i liked the first narrator, but then after a third of the book Stephen King himself narrates and while I like his books, he is not a good narrator. The music is fun and I kind of like it. Although even that changes when King takes over. I'm just not a fan at all.

Great story but…
The production of this audiobook is STUPID. The loud music all over the place is insane and obnoxious. I love the narrator and the story itself but man that music ruins it. I can’t listen to it when I’m falling asleep because I have to shoot up to turn the volume down.

Crap
This story had very little to do with the dark tower and everything to do with Kings experience in college and his feelings about Nam.
You could save yourself 15 hours plus and watch the movie.
