Night Shift Audiobook Overview (20 short stories)
Night Shift Audiobook is the first collection of short stories by Stephen King, first published in 1978. Many of King’s most famous short stories were included in this collection.
A collection of tales to invade and paralyze the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the shadows of the night. As you listen, the clutching fingers of terror brush lightly across the nape of the neck, reach round from behind to clutch and lock themselves, white-knuckled, around the throat.
In 1980, Night Shift received the Balrog Award for Best Collection, and in 1979 it was nominated as the best collection for the Locus Award and the World Fantasy Award.
Summary
This is the horror of ordinary people and everyday objects that become strangely altered; a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems, where the familiar and the friendly lure and deceive. A world where madness and blind panic become the only reality.

Review
As I continue my Stephen King binge, I seem to be leaning more towards his short story collections. As I’ve said before Stephen King is one of the best short story writers around.
Night Shift Audiobook Mp3 was a bit of a mixed bag but there were way more great stories then bad ones.
My favorite stories were The Boogeyman in which a man learns to keep his closet doors closed, Grey Matter in which we all learn that beer is bad, Sometimes They Come Back in which a teacher finds out that you can’t outrun your past, Quitters, Inc. in which a man learns that he should have read the fine print, Children of the Corn kids are monsters and corn is important, and The Man Who Loved Flowers in which we meet a young man who won’t give up on love.
I really only had 3 stories I disliked:
- Number 1 was The Lawnmower Man I don’t even want to talk about it. It was awful
- Number 2: Trucks, so boring.
- Number 3: Graveyard Shift, damn RATS!
Night Shift Audiobook Download is a vintage read and some stories are super dated but as I said before there are more great and timeless stories in this collection then there are clunkers.
Highly recommend!
