This early Stephen King story is both creepy and mesmerizing... I had so much fun working on this audiobook version of "Strawberry Spring" complete with visuals of foggy nights on the campus of New Sharon Teacher's College...
Stephen King's "Strawberry Spring" was originally written in 1968 and published in Ubris Literary Magazine.
Opening theme: "Sinister" by Anno Domini Beats

  • I’m really glad that I found these stories. Stephen King has been my favorite author ever since I was a kid back in the 80’s. One of the very first books I ever read was King’s “It” and then I saw the movie. I loved to read his books and then get to see them turned into movies. I started to read the “Dark tower” series of books,a process that took years to read. The narrator really does a great job bringing these stories to life and I’m hoping that I can find some narrations of the Dark tower books.

    • Maybe you should try reading Dean Koontz I've read them All right from his 1st from yrs ago to his recent and for me he is much better than King .. it's just my opinion, I'm not saying King is bad as a few of his movies are my favourites and I have read many of his books too but if you like King you should really like Koontz. Happy New yr!

  • I thought about this story today as I was getting home from work. The weather had been unusually warm and wet for this time of year and my bus was going past the University Park. I saw what it looked like: all foggy and dark, the lamps shining through the haze, making these big halos, all very magical and mysterious and remembered: "we're having a honest to goodness strawberry spring, like in that story!" I felt an urge to get out of the bus and walk around there. I don't think I did, and neither did I commit any wrongdoings on my way home, as far as I can tell.

I've also just come across this channel and have watched the one about the history of the Overlook Hotel too. Great idea narrating as George Hatfield and brilliant voice acting all round (creepy or otherwise) 😉 I really enjoyed this and have subbed.👍🏻
