The Mist

Book • 1925
In 'The Mist', Stephen King crafts a terrifying tale of a small town in Maine shrouded in an unnatural mist.

The story follows David Drayton and his son Billy as they take refuge in a supermarket, only to discover that the mist conceals deadly creatures.

As tensions rise, the group must confront not only the external horrors but also the internal threat of a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody, who preaches sacrifice as a means to appease God's wrath.
