A Charles Dickens novel read by the late David Case is something you can almost bathe in.

I loved this part. Just the idea that somebody can creep out Stephen King is hilarious.

When I heard Kathy Bates reading The Silence of the Lambs (an abridgment, alas), I was driving at night and had to shut off the CD player, even though I knew how the story went. It was her voice, so low and intimate and somehow knowing. It was flat creeping me out.

I knew even better how the short story ''1408'' went, because I not only wrote it, I recorded it. Still, I wasn't prepared for the scream of trumpets the director had added at the very end of the story. My pulse rate spiked and I tore the headphones off my ears. That was a true sting.

Interesting article by King btw. Some points he makes ring close to how I feel about audiobooks now.
