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.
西方人自夸的宽恕在本书中是奢侈品,噢不,根本不存在。四个故事带给我们四个绝狠凶人。你犯我一尺?对不起,我还你一丈,你要比我死得更难看。 有趣的是书中的后记,金说明了他的灵感来源。这些故事的原型都是生活中的琐事,天知道金是怎么把它们和恐怖故事联系在一起的,他的...
评分读的是99文库版,明知道黑封面下尽是一片黑暗。读到凌晨两点,恍惚间,夜幕里垂下四把长柄钩镰,闪着锃亮的光、挂着粘稠的血,一身黑衣的神站在一旁,在温暖的露齿笑。 第一把钩镰最血腥,陈年血迹还未擦去,新鲜稠血又染上,一层一层慢慢风干,黑了红、红了又黑......一家五...
评分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...

评分有几刻真的被吓到了????。四星半吧。
评分挑了两篇短的看了看。这个人有意识地操纵你的情绪(有包邮许多斜体字和回车哦)。大家都喜欢这种我觉得挺bullhead的“恶”么?很无趣啊~
