The Mist
Author: Stephen King
The Mist by Stephen King is a chilling tale of survival and psychological terror. After a violent storm sweeps through a small town, a dense, unnatural mist rolls in—hiding unspeakable creatures within it. Trapped inside a supermarket with other frightened residents, David Drayton must protect his son while fear, suspicion, and desperation begin to tear the group apart.
Blending relentless suspense with sharp insight into human nature, this gripping novella explores how quickly society can collapse under pressure. Dark, claustrophobic, and deeply unsettling, The Mist is a haunting reminder that sometimes the greatest danger comes not from monsters outside—but from the panic within.
