This early Stephen King story is both creepy and mesmerizing... I had so much fun working on this audiobook version of "Strawberry Spring" complete with visuals of foggy nights on the campus of New Sharon Teacher's College...
Stephen King's "Strawberry Spring" was originally written in 1968 and published in Ubris Literary Magazine.
Opening theme: "Sinister" by Anno Domini Beats

This Reading is Very Relaxing for me. I'm Here. 2023. ❤ 🐰
I noticed by the end that I already read this short story in my mother language when I was a teenager. I remember getting the creeps when he says he finds the word “trunk” ugly. Stephen King is amazing
This is a favorite of mine, because that last line just sticks with you. "And, oh dear God, I think so, too." Goosebumps.
I'm looking for something to take my mind off my husband's appointment he has tomorrow. A sigmoidoscopy. To find out if the cancer is gone. Im trusting God it's gone. Glad I found myself here. This wasn't an accident. It's a God hug. Love one another. You never know

I’m really glad that I found these stories. Stephen King has been my favorite author ever since I was a kid back in the 80’s. One of the very first books I ever read was King’s “It” and then I saw the movie. I loved to read his books and then get to see them turned into movies. I started to read the “Dark tower” series of books,a process that took years to read. The narrator really does a great job bringing these stories to life and I’m hoping that I can find some narrations of the Dark tower books.

Maybe you should try reading Dean Koontz I've read them All right from his 1st from yrs ago to his recent and for me he is much better than King .. it's just my opinion, I'm not saying King is bad as a few of his movies are my favourites and I have read many of his books too but if you like King you should really like Koontz. Happy New yr!
My all time favorite author

I was introduced to Mr. King in high school in the early 70"s. Strawberry Spring was a story printed in The Scholastic Reader which was distributed in my public school. Nothing had ever approached this short story within that publication before. I was hooked on this young writer!
This reading was superb! 🤌🏻

I thought about this story today as I was getting home from work. The weather had been unusually warm and wet for this time of year and my bus was going past the University Park. I saw what it looked like: all foggy and dark, the lamps shining through the haze, making these big halos, all very magical and mysterious and remembered: "we're having a honest to goodness strawberry spring, like in that story!" I felt an urge to get out of the bus and walk around there. I don't think I did, and neither did I commit any wrongdoings on my way home, as far as I can tell.
Solid reading! I'm from New England and this kind of weather is real.
Great to find these stories. King and I are roughly the same age and I went to a college in New England, the University of Rhode Island. He captures that era very well.
How I had missed this fabulously creepy story until now is beyond me! Jeez, Steve-O... at 20 years old you could make a grown woman feel the need to sleep with the lights on.

1968 ... just getting into his groove. This is what began the repeating cycles. Not just another repeat. Good stuff special for its time
Strawberry Spring sounds like it should be lovely but this story definitely says that it is not good at all. Great narrator. I had read many Stephen King books but hadn't heard of this short story.
This reading was *chef's kiss*
One of my favorite King stories. Really spooky.

I listen to the audio book at work was hooked instantly! Great short story king never fails!
I just bought Graveyard Shift. I had no idea he had short story and novella collections. I’m not a fan of his newest work, but I like the older stuff. Great narration. Fantastic voice.

I guess it had to be a little creepy for the psyciatrist, though not too much like it's forced...just a hint of sinister in it. I've also just come across this channel and have watched the one about the history of the Overlook Hotel too. Great idea narrating as George Hatfield and brilliant voice acting all round (creepy or otherwise) 😉 I really enjoyed this and have subbed.👍🏻
this is so good. Love the early Stephen King. That's when he was at his best.

One of my all-time favourite King stories, and it's always been my pick for his most "underrated" one. I would love to see it done as a short film, although of course it works best in the format it's in. Fantastic reading! You really evoked its haunting imagery.

It's a good story but far from his best.
I hadn't read this one. Thanks. I figured out who did it early on, but kept listening because it was written extremely well. I recently bought bathroom scales with the name THINNER on it and remembered reading an early story of King's under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. I hope I don't lose too much weight. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada

Wonderful reading and I love the images you chose. I read this story before I went to college in New England 30 years ago. I thought of it every time I walked anywhere in this kind of weather and gave myself a chill. It's so evocative.

Great job! Your voice is very calming and engaging.
Excellent work with this. Still impressed that it came so early in his career...
The name came from the way the original killer lept over fences and walls to escape unidentified. Not because he "left no footprints". "It was as if he had springs in the heels of his boots." Makes quite a bit more sense, does it not?
Excellent job reading this one, dude.
Good story - great storyteller ❤
The ending was amazing.😊
So glad to have found this! Been a King fan since (1970?). Wasn’t this story eventually combined in a book with others, into a collection of short stories?
