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.

斯蒂芬·金(Stephen King)於二零零零年齣版瞭《寫作這迴事 : 創作生涯迴憶錄 》(On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft),這本書半是自傳,半是對於自我職業的簡潔迴顧。他很清楚那些認為他不能寫作的人的反應,用他的話來說,這些人認為他就象是一個鎮上的妓女,試圖教導良傢婦...

開始重新更在讀書單。有點想快點看完這本書,想看小清新有很多愛的暖小說。確實是重口味驚悚類型,1922真的是將怕老鼠的我看得就要讀不下文字瞭,春節看到現在纔看瞭63%,纔到第二個故事。但是可讀性很強,英文不難,偶有幾個不懂的也不影響理解
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。
評分A good marriage.
評分看完"Big Driver"後推薦看電影《三塊廣告牌》"A Good Marriage"後推薦電影《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.
評分A good marriage.
