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.
《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 评分记得小时候有篇模范作文,讲的是一个孩子脑海里有两个小人,勤奋的小人和懒惰的小人,每当孩子在做事情的时候,两个小人就会出现打架,最终勤奋的小人战胜了懒惰的小人。远在美国的作家斯蒂芬金在《暗夜无星》这部作品集里,也提到了类似的场景,他说“我相信每个人心里...
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...
评分我也不知道为什么,并没有觉得那些人有什么地方做的不对。或许是因为看书的过程中,我并没有头脑,也就没有了作为自己的判断。 所以到底是怎么回事呢?第一,大概因为我没有考虑结婚,目前也没有女友,所以《1922》和《大司机》似乎隔着一层纱;第二,我只是个想靠恐怖入眠的混...
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
评分非常不错,除了big driver稍微挫点,总体都非常好看。尤其是1922
评分习惯了他的唠叨,他的短篇读起来似乎没有那么过瘾。
评分有几刻真的被吓到了????。四星半吧。
