Rating:  - Not Free SF Reader
A junior member of a law firm is invited to a slightly odd club, that initially appears to be just a group of members that like to tell stories of different sorts, but just before xmas, the story must be 'uncanny'.
He begins to suspect something strange when some of the furnishings and books in the club seem very unique.

Only Stephen King can write a novel that is so completely lucid and insane at the same time and get away with it. Having a particular affection for audio books, I recently listened to his novella, THE BREATHING METHOD.

Reader Frank Muller delivers this tale with aplomb. Taken from King's superb story collection, "Different Seasons," the action takes place in a tony Big Apple men's club where there are no membership dues. Membership rises and falls with the telling of tales.
Who can tell them better than King. This time out his subject is a woman who is bound and determined to give birth no matter what.
Scary? Of course. It's King, isn't it?
Rating: - A good book
