![]() ![]() Stephen King was near the beginning of his career, and publishers weren’t keen to publish absolutely everything he came out with, so he had to let this one sit awhile. Though this is a 1980s story, “The Mist” was first written in 1976. There will inevitably be some conflation of those two slightly different stories below, so I’m going to talk about both without worrying about mixing them up. I’ve seen the 2007 film numerous times but only just read the novella. Or maybe you’ve never encountered Stephen King’s Mist story before in your entire life, and you don’t scream to family members, “SOMETHING IN THE MIST TOOK JOHN LEE!” whenever fog descends. This popular science fiction horror contains plenty for discussion and analysis. You may have even studied “The Mist” in literature class - the tertiary level equivalent of Lord of the Flies. ![]()
