This week, I am joined by regular visitor Lorraine, and we tend to do, we're talking horror. This time it's the tension and fear induced by Stephen King’s 1980 novella The Mist, a claustrophobic tale of survival, fear, and the monsters both outside and within.

When a strange storm rolls into a small Maine town and an otherworldly mist swallows everything in sight, a supermarket becomes ground zero for a group of trapped townsfolk struggling to make sense of the horrors lurking just beyond the glass.

Lorraine and I dig into the tension, the razor-sharp social dynamics, and the way King turns an everyday setting into a pressure cooker of paranoia. We’ll talk creature design, human collapse under stress, and why this particular novella still feels unnervingly relevant decades later. If you’re into atmospheric dread, moral grey areas, and speculative horror that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page, this one’s for you.

So brew a cuppa, get cosy, and let’s step into the mist together.
