- A No. 1 New York Times bestseller and winner of the 1986 Locus Award for Best Collection, SKELETON CREW is a classic collection of riveting stories from the outer limits of one of the greatest imaginations of our time. Features 'The Mist', adapted into both a feature film directed by Frank Darabont and a 2017 Netflix series, and 'The Monkey' which was made into a film featuring Theo James. Hold tight. We are going into a number of dark places, but I think I know the way. Just don't let go of my arm . . .
