THE MIST was previously published back in the 1980's as a novella in the SKELETON CREW book of short stories. I had read it once, several years ago, but I'm glad I picked up a copy now.

This is a very quick read -- about 2 hours -- since, as I mentioned, it's a novella and not a full-length novel. But it doesn't lessen any of the spooky, creepy, weirdness, which is always a plus.

I'm highly interested in seeing the big-screen adaptation of this book, and hope it holds up to the story. I'm anxious to see the eeriness that is THE MIST in all its CGI glory!
