I just finished "The Mist" by Stephen King. I would recommend this, though I'm a poorly qualified horror writing critic.

The atmosphere in this novella is pretty amazing. King somehow manages to over explain everything and rather than it get annoying, it really adds to the atmosphere and lets your imagination run with it. I was able to really picture the mood of the story and see a "movie version" in my mind.

There is a "radio show" type of program I'm going to listen to based off of the story. And of course, there is the Darabont movie version coming out in November.

Whatever, I recommend this to anyone who wants a good eerie story for a night. I haven't read enough Lovecraft to compare it to, but I have trouble imagining that there are too many better horror stories that paint the atmosphere so well (This of course simply means I'm in for a treat once good horror recommendations come rolling in).

Has anyone else read "The Mist" and have some comments?
