Publisher's Summary
Stephen King's fan-favourite thriller available in audio for the first time read by Acadamy Award nominee James Franco.
The two things that conjured up that horrible night, were his run of luck at the Wheel of Fortune, and the mask....
Meet Johnny Smith. A young man whose streak of luck ends dramatically in a major car crash. Followed by blackness. A long, long time in cold limbo.
When he wakes up life has been turned upside down. His fiancée has met someone else. And Johnny is cursed with the power to perceive evil in men's souls. He's had these hunches since he had an ice-skating accident as a child. Now he has an ability to see into the future. An ability which will bring him into a terrifying confrontation with a charismatic, power-hungry and dangerous man....

Masterful
Definitely one of my favourite King books. King really knows how to convey the tormented life of Smith and delivers perfectly. Franco does a fine job with the narration.

Great story, great voice actor
This is an excellent Stephen King book and Franco does a wonderful job. I was dubious when I saw his name but he nails it.

My first Stephen King book
I had never read or listened to a Stephen King book because I do not like horror! Gosh! I have been missing out! Loved the book! Loved the characters! Thank you Stephen! I now have lots to look forward to.

Delightful and daring
Franco has a beautiful way of guiding this book through the tale of Johnny and Sarah, his voice brings every delightful and gruesome detail to life, the story spun like only King can spin.

The Dead Zone
I really liked this story. It got a bit boring a couple of times, but I don't skip these parts in case I miss something important. Sometimes there is just too much detail. But I love reading Stephen King's books. They always get the imagination running. Thanks for all the great reads Mr King. I loved the extended version of The Stand. That was probably my favourite.

Gripping
I've read Stephen's books in the past but must have missed this one. In his book, On Writing, he mentioned The Dead Zone,. My first King audio book because of my busy life, it was like coming home.
