In case you missed the somewhat well-received John Cusack horror flick “1408,” you can now listen to the original short story, as well as two others, “In the Deathroom” and “Lunch at the Gotham Cafe,” read by the author. These stories are taken from the 2002 collection “Everything’s Eventual: 14 Dark Tales.”
King, who has been hailed as a master of the horror genre, shows in these unsatisfying short stories — their only connection being characters who share an addiction to smoking — why he’s best known for his novels, most recently “Lisey’s Story” and “Cell.”
The story “1408,” for example, presents a classic horror scenario: A hack writer with failed literary expectations now writes books about spending a night in supposedly haunted places, and a lot of “1408″ builds up the wealth of terrors like unexplained deaths and suicides that occur in the titular hotel room. A nice detail is that even though the staff changes the sheets and towels every day, the room hasn’t been updated to take a swipe card and, instead, is still accessed by using a key. The writer’s night there, though, is short, confusing and, actually, not all that scary.
The bonus of these tales is that they are read by King, who knows how to enliven a story through reading, even if the stories aren’t his best.
