Reddit mentions of The Mist: In 3 D Sound

Alien: Out of the Shadows (Full Cast Dramatization) takes place between Alien and Aliens, and reads like really well-done fan fiction. Laurel Lefkow sounds exactly like Sigourney. It's got some contrivances, but it's fun. (4.5 hours)

Bird Box by Josh Malerman, narrated by Cassandra Campbell is a literary post-apocalyptic horror story about a young mother trying to survive in a world where something outside will make you suicidal and homicidal if you see it. The characters spend half the story blindfolded. You won't get much in the way of monsters. In fact explanation and resolution are pretty thin, but it's very strong on tension. Cassandra Campbell's narration is one of the best I've ever heard. It's a little bit reminiscent of the recent film "A Quiet Place," and Bird Box has been made into a film being released this December. (9 hours)

The Dinosaur Four by Geoff Jones (me), narrated by Nick Podehl, is a B-movie adventure about ten everyday strangers in a cafe that gets sent back in time. There are lots of dinosaur attacks and one of the survivors is just as dangerous as the dinosaurs. (8 hours)

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, narrated by Robertson Dean is technically about vampires, but it's honestly the granddaddy of the modern zombie genre. It's a little dated (1954), but still a great read. (5.25 hours)

It by Stephen King, narrated by by Steven Webber is probably his best monster story, and one of his best books all around... but its a little longer than your road trip. (45 hours)

The Mist by Stephen King is one of my favorites, about a small group of people trapped in a supermarket when a monster-filled mist rolls int town. There's an unabridged reading at Audible narrated by Will Patton (5.25 hours) and a terrific full-cast recording you'll have to find elsewhere (1.5 hours).

Pines by Blake Crouch, narrated by Paul Michael Garcia is about a secret service agent investigating a small town where everything seems too good to be true. It feels like a mixture of The Twilight Zone, The Fugitive, and Twin Peaks. The sci-fi and monster elements slowly appear in the first book but are a big part of the second and third. It's fast, fun read. (8.5 hours)

You by Caroline Kepnes, narrated by Santino Fontana doesn't have any supernatural monsters, but it's about a creepy-as-fuck stalker in New York City. The book is written from his point of view in such a way that you (may) actually end up sympathizing with him. Fontana's narration is fantastic. (11 hours)

(Honestly, out of all of these, Pines feels like the one I would recommend most for your trip!)

I suggest you check out the novella it is based on, and even better the audio adaption:

I remember listening to this when I was a kid- it's awesome. It's basically an audio dramatization of the novella preformed by a full cast of voice actors. It's only a couple of hours long if I remember correctly.

Keep in mind that the movie's ending was very, very different from the original story. The story is much more open ended, which you may like more or you may be disappointed by.

If you like Holophonic Sound, you will love Stephen King's The Mist in 3D sound. It uses Binaural Sound to create a really creepy atmosphere.
