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.

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,非常的写实,看见文字能想象图片。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...
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...
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...
评分读的是99文库版,明知道黑封面下尽是一片黑暗。读到凌晨两点,恍惚间,夜幕里垂下四把长柄钩镰,闪着锃亮的光、挂着粘稠的血,一身黑衣的神站在一旁,在温暖的露齿笑。 第一把钩镰最血腥,陈年血迹还未擦去,新鲜稠血又染上,一层一层慢慢风干,黑了红、红了又黑......一家五...
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...
