Just After Sunset - call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King.

Publisher's Summary
Harold Parkette disposes of his lawnmower after his neighbor's cat dies a gruesome death. But the "Lawnmower Man" he hires to do the job proves more than Harold bargained for. A police officer begins to suspect that a series of grisly industrial accidents is no coincidence in "The Mangler." At "Quitter's Inc." a smoker soon discovers that they'll truly stop at nothing to make sure their customers kick the habit. A betrayed husband goes out on "The Ledge" when he takes vengeance into his own hands. And in "Sometimes They Come Back," the concept of alumni is given new meaning when a high school teacher, haunted by the past, is assigned 3 new students who seem eerily familiar.

Four Short Stories are Missing!
I have found only three audiobooks here that contain short stories from Night Shift, and after reviewing all three of them, only 16 of the 20 stories from Night Shift are available. The four missing shorts are 'One For the Road', 'Children of the Corn', 'Trucks', and 'I am the Doorway'. I cannot seem to find these four stories anywhere in Audible. Where are they?

Mixed bag
Stephen King is a known quantity, and this collection neither disappoints nor blows you away. My only real comment is on the performance. The reader is okay, although IMO tries to hard to inject feeling into the story. But the real problem is the music and sound effects. Most Stephen King audio books have music here and there; short fillips, as it were. Accents to the story. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t, but they’re usually pretty unobtrusive and let the story take center stage.
Unfortunately, the producers of this collection felt they had to go farther—maybe they didn’t trust the material?—and the result is not only distracting but quite annoying. Further, there are times when the music and effects actually drown out the reader, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of an audio book.
Good stories; decent performance; irritating effects.

Did not finish
This book is bad, it rambles on about some guy who seems to be a recovering psycho that slipping back into being crazy. It doesn't flow well, and is just way to wierd to hold my attention. I downloaded it for free and it wasn't worth the price. I admit that I have only listened to one other Steven King book (Dreamcatcher) and am not that impressed with this genre but at least Dreamcatcher had a very understandible plot that was easy to follow.

Really good food for thought!
If you like Stephen King short stories then these are for you. The narrator does a good job of making you believe he was telling you the story like it had happened to him. Definitely a good listen over and over again.

A third part of Night Shift
Lots of good stuff here. Stephen King at his prime.
Well worth the time and cost. My only downside, the book was split between 3 audiobooks, requiring you to make 3 purchases for one book. I blame the publisher for this. Still, these are some of King's best known works in the short story format. Recommended but with a bit of reluctance.

A great conclusion to Night Shift.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this, because these stories are truly terrifying.
What other book might you compare The Lawnmower Man and Other Stories From Night Shift to and why?
I would compare this to the other volumes in Night Shift. The other volumes have great stories, but they are not as scary.
Which character – as performed by John Glover – was your favorite?
I loved the lawn mower man. He is really creepy when he sets his lawn mower on the main character. I also thought the main character in the ledge was really well written.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
If you want to be really scared, just listen to the story the ledge.

Glover Steals the Show
This is an odd collection of the leftovers from Night Shift, all of the stories either feature the mystical or criminal element. While the writing is top-notch John Glover is really the standout giving a versatile and dynamic performance across all the stories contained here. He actually might have more characters to work with and these five and the other two collections of Night Shift combined. the one complaint here is the music. Although absent from the other two collections of Night Shift except during the interludes the music here tends to arrive for the crescendo of each story sometimes more than that and remain through the end. While the music itself is actually quite good it sometimes overshadows Glover's voice making it difficult to hear.
