About this listen
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....
James Franco is an actor, a director, an artist and a writer. His film appearances include Milk, Pineapple Express, Spring Breakers, Howl, and 127 Hours, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.
He is the author of the novel Actors Anonymous, the collection Palo Alto, and the memoir A California Childhood. His writing has been published in Esquire, Vanity Fair, N+1, The Wall Street Journal and McSweeney's, and his art has been exhibited throughout the world, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and MoMA PS1 in New York.

The story of The Dead Zone is still gripping, and the performance is excellent. In 2018 ,however, the idea that if you see a future where a populist, manipulative politician who relies on bullying and flattery and has no regard for facts or the truth is heading towards the presidency of the US then the right way to deal with him is to shoot him dead is troubling in a rather different way from what King intended!
Still well worth a listen.
Troubling in a different way nowdays

This wasn't the kind of story I expected from Stephen King - not scary, just fascinating. Well-researched, easily absorbing the listener in the Seventies, transporting you to life with Johnny and the supporting cast.
Now begins the agonising wait til I can get my next Audible download.... 3 weeks and counting then its onto another Stephen King.
Gripping & enthralling
