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.

文/宋薇棠 不知為何,在關於斯蒂芬·金幾部最重要的作品裏,我至今記得的,隻剩下《閃靈》中的隻言片語:“那天迴想起小時候,好像是最痛苦最沒有希望的時代,又好像是所有痛苦都還沒有到來的時代。”就像黎明將至的午夜,又似灰燼中的餘煙,一切似乎還有希望,卻又沉在黑暗裏...
評分《暗夜無星》書評 《暗夜無星》這本書拿在手上,心裏非常的喜歡。書的封麵為瞭配閤書名,也做的是漆黑一片。但是最黑的黑恰恰和最白的白一樣都是最怕髒的,就像純黑的衣服沾瞭灰和白衣服沾灰一樣顯眼。夏天的手拿著書放下,封麵就留下一個手印兒。真是覺得心裏可惜,迴傢就...
評分這本書斷斷續續讀瞭好久,好在是四個故事組成的,不會讀瞭後麵忘瞭前麵。喜歡書的最後,作者講述他寫這些故事的那些思路來源。 史蒂芬金在書裏放大瞭人們的'惡'的念頭,並且耐心的一步一步去描繪主角真實的想法,直到這些想法變得畸形。最後導緻犯罪。為瞭突齣這個過程,每個...
評分我也不知道為什麼,並沒有覺得那些人有什麼地方做的不對。或許是因為看書的過程中,我並沒有頭腦,也就沒有瞭作為自己的判斷。 所以到底是怎麼迴事呢?第一,大概因為我沒有考慮結婚,目前也沒有女友,所以《1922》和《大司機》似乎隔著一層紗;第二,我隻是個想靠恐怖入眠的混...

Love it! Ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Feels like it could very well happen to me.
評分第一次接觸Stephen King,來自於Gladding的介紹。總體來講恐怖小說不是很閤我胃口,口味重沒營養。不過接觸一下,知道大傢喜愛的類型,大眾化纔不太會被社會拋棄。
