With that being said, this audiobook earns it spot on the list not only for the unforgettable story and characters but also because Steven Webber’s audiobook narration is really well done. I am a little biased because this was my first entry into Stephen King’s work when I was but a wee horror fan. Only slightly shorter than The Stand at 44 hours and 55 minutes, Stephen King’s masterpiece It will still keep you busy during your holiday travels. Those additions might seem iffy to some who have not yet listened to this version, but reviews are generally favorable. This version of the audiobook was released in 2012 with previously cut chapters and new material that King added to make the post-apocalyptic threat more current. On top of that, narrator Grover Gardner’s somewhat gravelly reading voice really sets the tone for this post-apocalyptic horror novel. With such an expansive catalogue of books, King has too many to simply choose blindly, so let’s get into the top 10 Stephen King audiobooks, in particular order.Ĭlocking in at 47 hours and 52 minutes, The Stand will keep you busy for your longest holiday car rides. Enter Stephen King, the master of spooks, good storytelling, and, yes, often really long books. Every year, as the months get colder and we approach the holiday season, two things remain true for me: first, cold weather makes me want to reach for spooky reads second, I’m going to be doing a lot of traveling, and I need a good audiobook. Winter is basically Stephen King audiobook season.
