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)于二零零零年出版了《写作这回事 : 创作生涯回忆录 》(On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft),这本书半是自传,半是对于自我职业的简洁回顾。他很清楚那些认为他不能写作的人的反应,用他的话来说,这些人认为他就象是一个镇上的妓女,试图教导良家妇...

This certainly is the kind of book readers charging through the pages and gobbling up as fast as one could, as King described what he did with 1984 in the afterword. The book consists of four stories: 1922, Big Driver, Fair Extension and A Good Marriage. Th...

非常不错,除了big driver稍微挫点,总体都非常好看。尤其是1922

冲着BTK杀人案看的,亚马逊在作者尾言之后又插入几段零零碎碎的故事破坏整本书首尾呼应的完整性的行为让人不耻,剧情上对于中老年夫妇的描绘挺鲜活的,无疑源于现实,第一个故事挺有lovecraft范儿的
