The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: Stories Audio Book Summary:
Stephen King, the master horror story teller delivers a collection of dark and grisly stories as well as several insightful commentaries as to how one can begin a career as a writer. 35 years ago, Stephen King unleashed his brand of horror with his first novel entitled Nightshift. Now, he has crafted dozens more of nightmare fueled tales.
He became known as a gifted writer of short fiction. In this new collection of short stories, he compiles a list of stories both old and new and introduces each with a simple passage about the motivations he had writing each tale.
Each story is connected with similar themes which include morality, guilt, the afterlife and what we would do differently if we could change the past. In one tale called “Afterlife”, a man who dies of colon cancer keeps relieving his life doing the same mistakes over and over again. Each tale contains a powerful commentary on life and humanity as well.
This eerie and compelling collection of stories all have that signature Stephen King style of horror and is made for fans of his work.
One reason to listen:
Not only does this collection of scary stories succeed in sending chills to your spine, it also offers a glimpse into what makes a successful writer and the frame of mind one has to have to craft a one of a kind tale.

“There’s something for everyone though and he’s a master storyteller. As I read some of the collection I was reminded of the Australian Aboriginal term of ‘yarning’ – which essentially means talking. We often use it more colloquially however and I found myself thinking how deftly King can ‘spin a yarn’.” – Deborah Cook
