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.

評分 評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...
評分 評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...
Love it! Ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Feels like it could very well happen to me.
评分精神驚悚NO.1可是有些故事篇幅實在囉嗦不夠精煉。四星。適閤悠閑時間多的讀者。BTW,中文翻譯太過分,1922原著最驚悚的大結局給刪的乾乾淨淨。
