Now from Encore—world-renowned bestselling storyteller Stephen King reads three chilling tales of paranoia and addiction.
In this audio-only trilogy of short stories, King tells the tales of three men, each smokers, who are grappling with their nicotine addiction as well as the personal demons that will determine their fates.
In Lunch at the Gotham CafÉ, Steve Davis is brooding over his recent breakup with his wife, plus the increasing stress of trying to quit smoking. When desperation pushes him to seek solace in a quiet luncheon, nothing prepares him for the horrors he will face at a trendy Manhattan restaurant.
In the Deathroom is the story of a man named Fletcher who is imprisoned and tortured in a South American stronghold. He has information his captors want, and they will stop at nothing to get it out of him. His only hope for escape and survival lies in a final request: One more cigarette before he dies, please.
And in 1408, listeners are introduced to Mike Enslin, a famous author of "true" ghost stories. When he decides to spend a night in New York City's most infamous haunted hotel room, he must survive the ordeal without the help of his trusty smokes.
Unfiltered horror at its best, these inventive, blood-chilling stories showcase King's compelling talent at its height. With unparalleled skill, King explores the perils of isolation and addiction, bringing the cravings of the mind to hideous life in Blood and Smoke.

Blood and Smoke
I'm listening to the audiobook and Stephen King is the narrator. While an excellent storyteller, Mr. King is sadly not the greatest audio narrator. There's little to no excitement or inflection and though I was impressed with a couple voices, overall, I prefer a professional.
Here are my reviews as they come while I read the stories:
Lunch at the Gotham Cafe: This one hit a little too close to home as I am a divorce lawyer and, sadly, have dealt with similar type lawyers/clients/jerk-offs before. I kinda wanted a bit more closure in the end, but not a bad tale overall. I do want some answers though. Where's the dog? Why does he see it? Why does it make him angry? 3/5
1408: Like any good monster story, this one spends less time on the monster itself and more on the lead up. I was sufficiently creeped out though a bit disappointed with how quickly it's over. I thought the Cusak/Jackson movie was a bit better though it's been a while. 3.5/5
In the Death Room: Really the only thing that stands out about this one is the ending, which was a surprise to me, but not for the normal reasons. Any more would spoil the story too much. Overall, kind of meh. 3/5
