Various times small groups try to leave the supermarket, with more deaths as a consequence. The second group grows larger by the day, especially after the ‘things’ in the mist start to claim victims… All kinds of creatures run loose out there, and more during the night than during the day. There are two groups within the supermarket: those who want to find a way out, and those who believe the mist is a sign of Judgement Day. A whole bunch of people are stuck inside the supermarket, trapped by the mist and no way of getting out alive… Then all hell breaks loose and the mist turns out to be murderous. In fact it only seems to advance more… The people try to ignore the mist, and David leaves his wife at home while he goes to town with his son to shop for groceries.

The storm ends suddenly, but the mist doesn’t go away. One day, a big storm rages over the lake and brings with it a terrible mist. The Mist is about how people of a small town react to a postapocalyptic crisis situation. I just wish he would have made it into a larger and more complete novel… Sure, the overall plot was interesting as well as the various creatures King incorporated into the story. I know Stephen King ment it to be short, but still… It wasn’t completely satisfying. Normally I enjoy his work, but I felt The Mist was too short, and too many important details were missing. “Something in the fog took John Lee! Something-” He staggered back against a display of lawn food stacked by the window and sat down there.”Something in the fog took John Lee and I heard him screaming!” “Something in the fog!” he screamed, and Billy shrank against me-whether because of the man’s bloody nose or what he was saying, I don’t know. 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.
