You had to keep going, sometimes for miles and miles, before you could find a way to get off the road and then get back on. Some of the cloverleaves they designed were so complicated you might never find your way back to your exit.
“And that’s what happened to the Edsel, I think. They missed their exit, and now they can’t find it. They’ve got to keep going. Forever.” He sighed. Then he turned, and ordered another cup of coffee. (查看原文)
A few miles beyond San Breta I stopped and got out of the car. I sat there in the starlight until it was nearly dawn, looking and listening. But the lights stayed out, and I saw nothing.
Yet, around midnight, there was a peculiar whistling sound in the distance. It built quickly, until it was right on top of me, and then faded away equally fast.
It could have been a hovertruck off over the horizon somewhere, I suppose. I’ve never heard a hovertruck make that sort of noise, but still, it might have been a hovertruck.

如果说之前我只是一个热爱冰与火之歌并且读过马丁大部分长篇的普通粉丝的话，那么读完这个集子之后我就彻底定性为脑残粉了吧……最大的收获还是他的自传部分，改天大概会写篇日记整理一下……老实说在我看来马丁的奇幻科幻短篇水平都泛泛，但是他的恐怖故事写得很好，他抓人的脆弱和恐惧都一抓一个准。
