The program is largely disappointing. It has been argued that the most critical element of horror media is sound, and F13 does have a cornucopia of chilling and ominous noises. However, everything else is carefully honed to a PG level of taste--rather than being scary, or even creepy, most aspects of F13 fall into the category of horror camp. Two of the three minigames are simple twitch games. In Bug Splat, you flatten insects messily before they can overwhelm your screen; in Whack-A-Zombie, you dispatch the undead with a shovel. The third game, No Swimming, lets you feed various animals to a school of piranha. The games are hilarious, especially Whack-A-Zombie. They're not very challenging, though, and definitely not fear-inspiring.
As for the novella, while its interface is gorgeous, it is also weak when compared to Stephen King's other work. It has a simplistic moral, a predictable ending, and offers little in the way of edge.
Still, hard-core King fans who want a complete collection may enjoy F13, as will younger horror aficionados who cut their teeth on the watered-down terrors of R. L. Stine. For everyone else, if you want truly scary wallpaper and other trappings for your PC, you will probably have to look elsewhere. --Alyx Dellamonica

Customer Reviews of Stephen King's F13
A Stephen King Fan Must-Have As Stephen King's Number One Fan (wink, wink), I can only say how awesome it is to have Stephen King's F13 running on my computer. It's gory graphics and creepy sounds are just what I'd expect from the "king of horror". My particularly favorite feature is having Stephen King in a corner of my screen clacking away at a new story in real-time. That and a new (lengthy) short story. I won't give too much away, but it is one of his creepier ones. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.
Don't blink... you'll miss it
Very short, games looks like they are from about 10 years ago, the only thing that makes it somewhat worthwhile is the story. One word.... STUPID.
Entirely mediocre, inlcuding the story....
I agree with another reviewer, this should have been freeware. Not only is this a TOTAL waste of money, but a lot of it is really disturbing, AND the graphics and games are so lame! The "sounds" are really sick, I mean how often can you listen to someone being stabbed or strangled? Why would you want to? The only good screensaver is a demented clown, but again, the graphics left me wanting SO much more! And the screensavers--forget it. They range from crappy animation to again, really queasy and mysoginist! What kind of person wants to see a woman stabbed over and over agian as she struggles for help? And you can see this scene played out in every room of the house! Yech! Don't get uppity, I AM a King fan, but this collection of sickness, plus a TOTALLY mediocre story are a big time and money waste!
