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.

《暗夜无星》书评 《暗夜无星》这本书拿在手上,心里非常的喜欢。书的封面为了配合书名,也做的是漆黑一片。但是最黑的黑恰恰和最白的白一样都是最怕脏的,就像纯黑的衣服沾了灰和白衣服沾灰一样显眼。夏天的手拿着书放下,封面就留下一个手印儿。真是觉得心里可惜,回家就...
评分文/宋薇棠 不知为何,在关于斯蒂芬·金几部最重要的作品里,我至今记得的,只剩下《闪灵》中的只言片语:“那天回想起小时候,好像是最痛苦最没有希望的时代,又好像是所有痛苦都还没有到来的时代。”就像黎明将至的午夜,又似灰烬中的余烟,一切似乎还有希望,却又沉在黑暗里...
评分文/宋薇棠 不知为何,在关于斯蒂芬·金几部最重要的作品里,我至今记得的,只剩下《闪灵》中的只言片语:“那天回想起小时候,好像是最痛苦最没有希望的时代,又好像是所有痛苦都还没有到来的时代。”就像黎明将至的午夜,又似灰烬中的余烟,一切似乎还有希望,却又沉在黑暗里...
评分我承认我刚读完一篇,可仅凭这一篇就可以给满分了。1922是这本书里面我最不想读的故事,因为它必然发生在1920年代,必然是斯蒂芬·金喜欢写的那种穷山恶水,我觉得已经不会有新意了。但是,我又有按顺序读的习惯,所以逼迫自己读1922。结果是惊喜,这篇1922真的想恶梦,恶梦里...
评分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...
看完"Big Driver"后推荐看电影《三块广告牌》"A Good Marriage"后推荐电影《八毫米》。If you’re going into a very dark place, then you should take a bright light, and shine it on everything. If you don’t want to see, why in God’s name would you dare the dark at all? I never truckled; I never took off my hat to Fashion and held it out for pennies. By God, I told them the truth.
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。
评分斯蒂芬金讲起故事真是让人欲罢不能。
