Stephen King is the author of more than fifty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. Among his most recent are the Dark Tower novels, Cell, From a Buick 8, Everything's Eventual, Hearts in Atlantis, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, and Bag of Bones. His acclaimed nonfiction book, On Writing, was also a bestseller. He is the recipient of the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Bangor, Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
Eerie twists of fate drive the four longish stories in King's first collection since Just After Sunset (2008). In "1922," a farmer murders his wife to retain the family land she hopes to sell, then watches his life unravel hideously as the consequences of the killing suggest a near-supernatural revenge. "Big Driver" tells of an otherwise ordinary woman who discovers her extraordinary capacity for retribution after she is raped and left for dead. "A Good Marriage" explores the aftermath of a wife's discovery of her milquetoast husband's sinister secret life, while "Fair Extension," the book's most disturbing story, follows the relationship between a man and the best friend on whom he preternaturally shifts all his bad luck and misfortune. As in Different Seasons (1982), King takes a mostly nonfantastic approach to grim themes. Now, as then, these tales show how a skilled storyteller with a good tale to tell can make unsettling fiction compulsively readable.
大概是在一开始就读了很多推理小说的缘故,对恐怖小说,在最初我似乎怀有某种“幼稚的轻蔑”——推理小说,尤其是古典推理高度的“程式化”,使得世上的一切,看似都可以在杀戮之后,随着侦探找出凶手而重回平静。至于恐怖小说——很抱歉,就好像是作者没办法自圆其说,只好...
评分"There is another man inside every man, a stranger..." "If you like it, it likes you... " 这两句话在合上书后,还清晰地回荡在我脑海里,并让我想到四个字 “跗骨之蛆”……我要描述的不是反胃或者恶心,而是一种让人发自内心颤抖又反复挥之不去的,一种很黑暗带有很大...
评分 评分这本书断断续续读了好久,好在是四个故事组成的,不会读了后面忘了前面。喜欢书的最后,作者讲述他写这些故事的那些思路来源。 史蒂芬金在书里放大了人们的'恶'的念头,并且耐心的一步一步去描绘主角真实的想法,直到这些想法变得畸形。最后导致犯罪。为了突出这个过程,每个...
习惯了他的唠叨,他的短篇读起来似乎没有那么过瘾。
评分四篇比较扭曲的中篇小说,很久之前看的,忘了具体题目了。特别喜欢那篇主角报复自己老朋友的故事。越是所谓“好朋友”就越容易成仇。本书就素质而论够得上5星。但是现在评价,尤其是已经看过了最新的《11/22/63》,只好委屈它一个4星了。
评分开始重新更在读书单。有点想快点看完这本书,想看小清新有很多爱的暖小说。确实是重口味惊悚类型,1922真的是将怕老鼠的我看得就要读不下文字了,春节看到现在才看了63%,才到第二个故事。但是可读性很强,英文不难,偶有几个不懂的也不影响理解
评分精神惊悚NO.1可是有些故事篇幅实在啰嗦不够精炼。四星。适合悠闲时间多的读者。BTW,中文翻译太过分,1922原著最惊悚的大结局给删的干干净净。
