#1 NY Times bestselling writer Stephen Ruler’s terrifying novella about a city engulfed within a dense, mysterious mist as humanity makes its last stand against unholy damage—originally published in the acclaimed brief story collection Skeleton Crew and made into a Television series, as well as a feature film starring Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden.

In the wake of the summer storm, terror descends…David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton join a large number of others and head to on the subject of The Mist the local grocery store to replenish supplies carrying out a freak storm. Once there, they become stuck by a unusual mist which has enveloped the city. As the confinement took its toll on the nerves, a spiritual zealot, Mrs. Carmody, begins to play on the doubts to convince them that this is God’s vengeance because of their sins. She insists a sacrifice should be made and two groupings—those for and those against—are aligned. Obviously, staying in the store may prove fatal, as well as the Draytons, along with shop employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller, try to make their escape. But what’s out there could be worse than what they left behind.

This exhilarating novella explores the horror in both enemy you know—and the main one you can only imagine.
