Finally!
There's a few older bootleg copy's out there, but it'll be nice to hear it recorded with modern tech.

I just searched Audible and there’s no other version of PS available. Has it always been like that? I too was under the impression that King did not allow abridged versions of his books. Why would anyone ever read King abridged??
A long time ago, in a decade far far away (90s to early 00s), audiobooks were not considered to be a serious form of literature. They were for the blind, or for children, or occasionally for long distance truckers and the like. Abridged books were really common, and some are still in circulation.

i am a fan of michael c hall but, with the notable exception of jeremy irons, i have been really unimpressed with well known actors reading audiobooks
the women doing jane austen seem another exception
it is a different kind of acting skill i think and some actors have it and some don't
i am a big william hurt fan and he has done a really awful performance on a book ... the title, not surprisingly, escapes me ..
i will be really interested to hear what m c hall does with this king classic
What have you been reading? Check out Tom Sawyer by Nick Offerman, Dresden Files by James Marsters, Go the Fuck to Sleep by Samuel L Jackson, and probably my favorite The Odyssey by Ian McKellen.
Hall read two stories for King's Skeleton Crew: Beachworld & Ballad of the Flexible Bullet. While not mind blowing, he read just fine.
William Hurt narrated parts of Hearts in Atlantis, I thought he did well. The book wasn't all that exciting.
Will Patton (who also narrates a few King books) is probably my favorite celebrity narrator, I've never been disappointed.
Zachary Quinto did a really good job with The Dispatcher by John Scalzi. I got it free on Audible. Quinto's only got a few audiobooks so far, but I hope he does more.
I thought King never allowed his books to be abridged for audiobooks—like, ever.

I loved Michael C. Hall's reading of Breakfast at Tiffany's so I'm super excited for this.
It was good, I liked it.
