Synopsis

Stephen King's dark novella The Stationary Bike entrances listeners with its vivid glimpses of pure terror. This imaginative work recounts the unfortunate story of an obese man named Richard Sifkitz. Finally caving-in to his doctor's advice, Richard decides to change his life for the better. So in a bid to lose weight after years of muscle neglect and persistent self-indulgence he begins taking daily rides on his stationary exercise bike. Soon his laborious journeys become increasingly obsessive-and then, maddeningly desperate. Now reality and fantasy commingle as Richard begins to fear that something is following him-something terrible-and it's getting closer by the minute. According to Publishers Weekly, Ron McLarty "delivers an excellent pace and easy disposition" as he narrates this horror tale "in classic Stephen King tradition." Are you ready for the brain-twisting suspense that only a master like King can deliver?
