Product Information

In "The Ledge", a rich man is cheated on by his wife with her tennis instructor. The two men are confronted with each other in the penthouse of a skyscraper. And the husband has to settle a score - he comes up with a plan you will not believe that a human being is able to create. Okay so a man buys flowers for his sweetheart. Only turns out there’s also this hammer murderer running about. Suspicious. Turns out our murderer thinks all women are this one woman named Norma that rejected him, so he gets murdery ever time he’s rejected by strange women that are like “umm sorry I’m not Norma?” The very young King´s first short story collection, a Bradburyian and Lovecraftian overkill of short, sharp, and vicious terror pearls. Carrie - Lo sguardo di Satana (1976) · Carrie 2 - La furia (1999) · Carrie (film TV, 2002) · Lo sguardo di Satana - Carrie (2013) Set in the 1800's a man named Charles moves into Chapelwaite, a home in Preachers Corners, close to Jerusalem's Lot. It is his ancestral home, and he has inherited it after a string of relatives die in the house. The inhabitants of Chapelwaite have been dying for a long long time, but our narrator is optimistic and not superstitious.

What´s amazing, and a shame at the same time, is that King is so creative that Hollywood desperately took any grain of premise to make a movie out of it, as if there were no directors, screenwriters, and other authors capable of creating a short story or novel that could be made a movie. Also, a proof of that the book is always better, which might be a subjective obsessive reader´s opinion and not the universal, forever wisdom I am famous for. Fart joke, lol. Overall, Night Shift isn't the five-star read I remember, where every story is absolutely perfect. There are some downright bad stories in here, and a fair share that are mediocre to average. But the stories that are good in here are great, and some, in my opinion, belong in the "great horror stories of all time" discussion, so I still highly recommend you read this collection. Just know that it isn't perfect, and you'll have to read through some lesser stories as part of experiencing the great ones.Does this taste a little bit off to you? In an age of e-coli and biohazard scares, this story will play off your fears about what might be out there waiting to get you from the inside out. 10 out of 10 on the gross meter! Scritto dalla prospettiva di un uomo oppresso dal rimorso e dispiaciuto dopo aver scoperto che la sorella si è suicidata. Racconta di un giorno, molto tempo fa, quando i due erano bambini, mentre giocavano nel fienile. Facevano un gioco in cui a turno si arrampicavano sulla cima di una scala molto alta, per poi lasciarsi cadere su un mucchio di fieno. Durante uno dei turni della sorella, la vecchia scala si ruppe improvvisamente, lasciando la sorella penzolante sull'ultimo piolo della scala. Tentò di ammucchiare abbastanza fieno da attutirne la caduta e salvarle la vita, e resta stupito della fede che lei ripone in lui. Racconta di come negli anni successivi lui l'abbia trascurata, e di quanto era sempre occupato per non badare ai suoi bisogni. La storia termina appena legge l'ultima sua lettera scritta due settimane prima di gettarsi da un palazzo; in quella lettera scopriva quanto disperatamente lei avesse bisogno che lui la salvasse ancora una volta.

Another very good story. Stephen King knows what he is writing, that's for sure (well, if you ignore certain stories like some of those I've mentioned above). I really liked the complex plot and the hidden appearance of supernatural elements. Los misterios del gusano: Mi relato favorito, sin duda. Aunque King desdibuja un poco su estilo para hacerle un pronunciado homenaje a Lovecraft, debo decir que le imprime algo que le da un gran dinamismo a esta historia, me encantó la ambientación descrita por King, el misterio que le imprime a cada página. Un relato que también sucede en Jerusalem's Lot, y que por la época, se nota que es una historia que pasa antes de lo acontecido en El misterio de Sale's Lot. King is often hailed as the master of the short story. Prior to this collection I had only read Nightmares & Dreamscapes and The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, and I did really enjoy them, but found it odd when people would comment things like "Oh it was good, but it was disappointing compared to earlier ones". Well, now I get it, guys! Now I get it. You can quite literally feel King's hunger for story-telling throughout the entirety of this collection and given these stories were written at the very start of his career, the material is all so fresh with absolutely amazing, outrageous ideas. Nothing felt particularly outstanding in this story except for the epistolary structure, and as an introduction to the anthology it was a little bit deterring to me.What is not to love about a story that is as fun as it is vindictive? And it stars a hunky tennis instructor taking on a mob boss? Yes, please. This is an allegorical tale about a racist, sexist, generally unpleasant man who is willing to judge others but cannot see his own faults. But, you can't hide from the boogeyman! In questa storia si localizza l'origine del virus nel Sud-est asiatico, diversamente da quanto detto in L'ombra dello Scorpione che indicava la sorgente in California. Esta colección de relatos del maestro King salió allá por los años 80, y creo que fue si no la primera, una de las primeras lecturas que hice de este genio. Tanto me marcó, que desde entonces he seguido su carrera y sus libros como el conejo persigue a la zanahoria. Y, aún así, aún me quedan unos cuantos libros suyos por leer. Entre estos relatos estaban el archiconocido “los chicos del maíz” y otros muchos tan buenos o más que este. Recuerdo con mucho cariño “los misterios del gusano, “un trago de despedida”, “soy la puerta”, “la trituradora”, “la primavera de fresa” y “el coco”. Pero no tiene ni uno solo malo. Todos los disfruté de principio a fin. A married couple enters a deserted village with only children inhabiting it - and they clearly have no idea of how to welcome strangers with politeness.

That little show of paranoia should show you that I’m a bit of a masochist when it comes to horror. It should also indicate you that most of the stars given to this short story collection come from King’s talent to scare me shitless. From electronic appliances from hell to the torture of memories, these tales bring to your door a big bag of uncomfortable feelings and triggers for insomnia. Among the ones that impacted me the most are: Moral of the story: it’s dangerous to be a woman. Second lesson: entitled men are dangerous even if they do nice things like buy you flowers. L'uomo vestito di nero (1994) · Riding the Bullet - Passaggio per il nulla (2000) · Elevation (2018)
