The Midst of the Mist

When I party, I party harty. Fun is on my miiiind. Put a smile, on your face, leave that problem behind! OH WAIT! THERE'S GIANT MONSTERS RUNNING THROUGH THE STREETS OF NEW ENGLAND KILLING EVERYONE! WHAT THE FLUCK!
That is how I would describe the Mist. One moment, I'm listening to Fun, by Sly and the Family Stone and hearing about David Drayton, the lovable dad and husband who works as an artist, and the next moment, Drayton and his son are holed up in a supermarket hiding from Lovecraft Villains. What the hell?! HOW DID THIS CHANGE SO FAST? WHERE DID ALL OF THE GOOD TIMES GO?! They certainly didn't roll Mr. O'casek.

Spoiler Alert: There's Mist

Basically, we meet David Drayton, a graphic artist, his eight year old son, and his wife. Drayton and his son go out to the market where mysteriously, there is a large number of citizens of their town holed up. We learn that there was storm last night and that sounds have been heard throughout the day. All of a sudden, just when we think, "Oh ok, it's just some random sounds because of trees falling over and stuff", we see a GIANT TENTACLE PULL A BUSBOY OUT OF THE MARKET! HUH? WHAT?
Anyway, A Mist (Shocker) soon develops around the market obscuring all vision. We soon start to meet the other characters in the market, including the manager, two soldiers, a young woman, and an older man. That could be the plot of an adult film. All of these characters start to either form good relationships or conflicts with each other. Tension starts to rise and a few more deaths come about.

Frog and Toad: Straight up G's

That's about where I am right now. On the bright side however, I think I'm going to finish this by tonight. I'm still debating whether or not to read a fifth book, but if I do, it will be really short. Maybe Animal Farm for a second time? Maybe Frog and Toad? Oooh, that one sounds nice. One more post of The Mist and then it's Frog and Toad time!

See ya soon!
