The Mist by Stephen King - #1 Fat Rabbit

As a reminder the 2026 book list is at the bottom of this posting.

I'm very glad to introduce the club to one of favorite Stephen King short stories. In late October we will continue the tradition of reading a Stephen King novel. This year the story will be The MIST. Ranked as his third most creepy book. And I have to say, this one is creepy, but not so gory, if that helps. And it's a bit different than many of his other horror novels. PLUS, it is only 200 pages long! You can get a standalone version, or get the story as part of the Skelton Crew collection. Should be millions of copies out there.

In November, besides a new book, we will also be having the annual catch-all meeting where we can discuss any book read this year. In case you missed a meeting and want to vent. It's a fun fast paced night. And in December we will have our holiday party. A ton of good stuff these next few months. Hang on for the ride!

Cheers!
