A classic Stephen King short story from the bestselling collection The Bazaar of Bad Dreams!
Alden McCausland and his mother are what they call "accident rich"; thanks to an unexpected life-insurance policy payout and a winning Big Maine Millions scratcher, Alden and his Ma are able to spend their summers down by Lake Abenaki, idly drinking their days away in a three-room cabin with an old dock and a lick of a beach.

Across the lake, they can see what "real rich" looks like: the Massimo family's Twelve Pines Camp, the big white mansion with guest house and tennis court that Alden's Ma says is paid for by "ill-gotten gains" courtesy of Massimo Construction. When Alden's holiday-weekend sparklers and firecrackers set off what over the next few years comes to be known as the Fourth of July Arms Race, he learns how far he and the Massimos will go to win an annual neighborly rivalryâ??one that lands Alden in the Castle County jail.

A silly story about competitive neighbors. Mildly entertaining, but not one of his best.

Audiobook, borrowed from my public library. Tim Sample provides an enthusiastic performance. He’s definitely all-in.

Alden and his mother, possessing unexpected riches due to both an unexpected life insurance policy and a scratch-off lottery ticket, live in a very modest dwelling on Lake Abenaki, drinking their lives away. On the other side of the lake is the Massimo family, well-established wealthy summer inhabitants at the lake. One summer, an innocent modest firework display sparks a yearly rivalry to see which family can best the other in the best fireworks display of all.

This is one of Stephen King's short stories, and he once again breaks the mold by writing something not considered *typical* Stephen King. I normally like that about him. But this one missed the mark for me. It was basically redneck vs. wealthy to a ridiculous extreme. Some might consider it funny. I just thought it was pitiful and ridiculous. ( )

This is funnnnnny. I didn't have a jacket to look at, so I just popped it into the CD player and was surprised. It may be about Maine "crackers" but I laughed my head off. Listen to it. Do it! ( )

Well, hell, that was fun. Tim Sample's delivery of this story, which is a fun little story in its own right, simply elevated it to a completely engaging ride.

He brought all the characters to life, he made that damn horn as irritating as it needed to be, and I was actually laughing out loud at not only the words King wrote, but the way Sample delivered them.

The story isn't horror, so don't go in looking for that. It's just a great story, but two great storytellers. ( )

This is a short little tale about how people try to top each other and how things can build until they’re out of control. I’m a little surprised that it actually pretty much worked out. ( )

Although stories of rivalries between neighbors aren’t particularly new, Mr. King deploys a surprisingly sweet comic touch with Alden’s narrative that keeps the neighbors more Simpsons and Flanderses than Hatfields and McCoys.
