...as classic as his novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years, and includes such classics as "The Body" and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption."...King still owns the fright business like none other, but the iconic author will keep you up late at night engrossed in four tales about our dreams and our frailties. ...the mid-length narrative suits his talents particularly well, permitting a degree of expansiveness while maintaining a controlled, disciplined approach to the material at hand. The results are stories that cover a surprising amount of emotional territory but can still be read in a sitting....In “If It Bleeds,” King continues to draw from a rich and varied reservoir of stories. At its best, his work remains deeply empathetic and compulsively readable. May the reservoir never run dry. The straightforward cadences of King’s voice, paired with his signature sit-down-and-let-me-tell-you-a-story style, were immediately soothing. And the stories he was telling — about the seductions and corruptions of technology, the extremes of beauty and depravity in even the most ordinary life, the workings of a universe we can never entirely understand — were somehow exactly what I wanted to read right now.... I wouldn’t begrudge any reader refuge in familiar pleasures, least of all now. We all need solace wherever we can find it... As sirens blare outside my Brooklyn window and the headlines grow more apocalyptic by the day, I might start working my way through King’s backlist. He’s good company in the dark. The master of supernatural disaster returns with four horror-laced novellas....King has gone a far piece from the killer clowns and vampires of old, with his monsters and monstrosities taking on far more quotidian forms—which makes them all the scarier. Vintage King: a pleasure for his many fans and not a bad place to start if you’re new to him. This set of novellas is thought-provoking, terrifying, and, at times, outright charming, showcasing King’s breadth as a master storyteller. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: King’s love of short fiction makes this a powerful addition to his megapopular oeuvre and fans will be on the hunt. ContienePremiosListas de sobresalientes
Cuatro novelas cortas de Stephen King sobre las fuerzas ocultas que nos acechan. Esta colecci?n nica nos ofrece una histor?a policiaca paranormal, protagnizada por la carism?tica Holly Gibney, y tres relatos m?s que ponden de manifiesto el incomparable talento, la imaginaci?n inigualable y la diversidad de registros de este lengendario narrador.
Cuanto m?s cruenta y violenta es una noticia, m?s llama la atenci?n de la gente: "La sangre manda." As? reza la m?xima period?stica que har? que Holly Gibney, la detective a la que Bill Hodges leg? su agencia Finders Keepers, y uno de los personajes m?s queridos por los fans de Stephen King, se interese por la matanza en el instituto Albert Macready y acabe obsesionada con las noticias. En esta ocasi?n deber? luchar contra lo que m?s teme... y esta vez sola. Si bien Holly, que ya apreci? en la trilog?a "Bill Hodges" y en El visitante, protagoniza su primer gran caso en solitario en el relato que da t?tulo a esta volumen, tres historias m?s forman parte de este libro. En "El tel?fono del se?or Harrigan," una amistad entre dos personas de edades muy diferentes perdura de manera m?s que inquietante. "La vida de Chuck" nos ofrece una hermosa reflexi?n acerca de la existencia de cada uno de nosotros. Y en "La rata," un escritor desesperado se enfrenta al lado m?s oscuro de la ambici?n.
