Author: Stephen King
world-renowned bestselling storyteller Stephen King reads three chilling tales of paranoia and addiction. — In this audio-only trilogy of short stories, King tells the tales of three men, each smokers, who are grappling with their nicotine addiction as well as the personal demons that will determine their fates. — In Lunch at the Gotham ...  more », Steve Davis is brooding over his recent breakup with his wife, plus the increasing stress of trying to quit smoking. When desperation pushes him to seek solace in a quiet luncheon, nothing prepares him for the horrors he will face at a trendy Manhattan restaurant.

In the Deathroom is the story of a man named Fletcher who is imprisoned and tortured in a South American stronghold. He has information his captors want, and they will stop at nothing to get it out of him. His only hope for escape and survival lies in a final request: One more cigarette before he dies, please.

And in 1408, listeners are introduced to Mike Enslin, a famous author of “true” ghost stories. When he decides to spend a night in New York City’s most infamous haunted hotel room, he must survive the ordeal without the help of his trusty smokes.

Unfiltered horror at its best, these inventive, blood-chilling stories showcase King’s compelling talent at its height. With unparalleled skill, King explores the perils of isolation and addiction, bringing the cravings of the mind to hideous life in Blood and Smoke.

If you have seen the movie "1408" with John Cusack and was impressed (or scared) by it, you really should listen to the original story.

If you ever underwent the painful ordeal of "kicking the habit", you will relate to the characters in these stories in a personal way.

The fact that the stories are read by the author himself adds a nice touch.

As crazy as it sounds, I really think this audio cd helped me quit smoking. Not right away you understand. But a few years after I bought it, I decided to quit. I swear thinking about the people in these stories, helped!
And beyond that, the middle story about the hotel room gave me chills. Sweet!

This was a great audio book!! The 1408 book is totally different than the movie. Now every time I go to a restaurant I think the host will be crazy and tell me to "Get that dog out of here!!" Great listen! I would recommend this book for any King fan!

Three chilling stories by Stephen King. Lunch at the Gothan Cafe, 1408, and In the Deathroom. All classic King.

These are 3 pretty good stories. Great for passing the time while driving or working out.
Not especially scary, but entertaining. Worth 2 credits for sure.
