Only about audio! A never-before-published Stephen King short story unavailable in any other format!

Alden McCausland and his mother are what they call “accident wealthy”; thanks to an urgent life-insurance policy payout and a winning Big Maine Millions scratcher, Alden and his Ma have the ability to spend their summers down by Lake Abenaki, idly taking in their days away inside a three-room cabin with a vintage dock and a lick of the beach.

Across the lake, they can about Drunken Fireworks see what “real rich” looks like: the Massimo family’s 12 Pines Camp, the big white mansion with guest house and tennis court that Alden’s Ma says is paid for by “ill-gotten gains” courtesy of Massimo Structure. When Alden’s holiday-weekend sparklers and firecrackers tripped what over the next few years involves be referred to as the 4th of July Arms Race, he learns how far he and the Massimos will head to earn an annual neighborly rivalry-one that lands Alden in the Castle Region jail.

Browse by beloved Straight down East storyteller Tim Sample-praised by Stephen Ruler for his “wit and skill and good-heartedness”-Drunken Fireworks makes for explosive audio hearing.
