A Face in the Crowd
The writing team that delivered the bestselling Faithful, about the 2004 Red Sox championship season, takes listeners to the ballpark again, and to a world beyond.

Dean Evers, an elderly widower, sits in front of the television with nothing better to do than waste his leftover evenings watching baseball. It's Rays/Mariners, and David Price is breezing through the line-up. Suddenly, in a seat a few rows up beyond the batter, Evers sees the face of someone from decades past, someone who shouldn't be at the ballgame, shouldn't be on the planet. And so begins a parade of people from Evers's past, all of them occupying that seat behind home plate. Until one day Dean Evers sees someone even eerier¿.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal - Audio

King’s short ghost story features Dean Evers, a retiree who bids New England winters goodbye for a Florida condo. Evers has baseball in his blood, and while tuning in to the games, he begins to see long-dead people from his past sitting in the stands—and they’re saving him a seat. The story generates eerie suspense while moving briskly, and actor Craig Wasson handles the pacing and voices beautifully. After this story, you’ll never answer the phone while watching a ball game again. At roughly an hour, this can be digested in a single sitting, and the price is sweet. (LJ 9/15/12)
