On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, is almost bouncing up Boylston Street in Boston. He's just landed a comic book deal that might finally enable him to support his family by making art instead of teaching it. He's already picked up a small (but expensive!) gift for his long-suffering wife, and he knows just what he'll get for his boy Johnny. Why not a little treat for himself? Clay's feeling good about the future.
That changes in a hurry. The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.
There's really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points home to Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north they begin to see crude signs confirming their direction: KASHWAK=NO-FO. A promise, perhaps. Or a threat...

Stephen King lives in Maine with his wife,the novelist Tabitha King.He does not own a cell phone.
Although I've admired S.K. for his reputation and read his short reviews of movies and books a lot, it's been the first time to read him. There were mixed feelings while reading the book: just left Boston, lots of misses, and the marathon explosion happene...
评分 评分这部小说让人不禁想起前段时间美国热映的电影『我是传奇』。事实上,据说斯蒂芬·金在创作本书的时候亦的确是借鉴了『我是传奇』等经典作品原著的构思。 不过,斯蒂芬·金尽管是个制造惊悚故事的顶级高手,但操作『手机』这样带有科幻内容的题材时却明显表现出力不从心:技术...
评分 评分没看明白,呵呵
评分A different tone from what I remember reading as a kid; there's not much plot, a third of the way in and the three main characters are still just sitting around; the language and symbols aren't as strong or dark as I remember either. Written for NYC/Ameri
评分真的一盘盘,几个人物立起来了,情节没有震惊到,阅读体验太差,可能是我英语不够好吧。。
