This volume is a collection of 14 short stories written by Stephen King. These tales that include the much-touted Internet-download phenomenon, "Riding the Bullet"; "The Little Sisters of Eluria," a Dark Tower prequel; the novella-length title story; and "L.T's Theory of Pets," King's personal favorite within the group, which was previously available only in audio. Not only do the action-based plots and engaging narratives hold up well within the realm of King's work, but tales like the 1996 O. Henry Award-winning Nathaniel Hawthorne homage, "The Man in the Black Suit," show us King at his literary best. An added bonus for fans is King's story-by-story annotation, in which he chronicles the event, thought, or image that served as his creative impetus. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

He leído pocos trabajos de King, pero siempre me sorprende la humanidad de los personajes. También creo que las situaciones y las relaciones que retrata son muy contemporáneas. En sus libros hay terror, magia y misterio, pero, a la vez, miedos y preocupaciones muy humanos. Creo que King será un clásico en el futuro. He disfrutado especialment: "Todo lo que amas se te arrebatará", "La muerte de Jack Hamilton", "Las Hermanitas de Eluria", "Todo es eventual" (mejor la traducción catalana "Tot és definitiu"), "La teoría de L.T. sobre los animales de compañía", "Almuerzo en el café Gotham", "Esa expresión que sólo puede expresarse en francés" y "Montado en la Bala". ¡Buena suerte, Alfie Zimmer!
I have read a few King's works, but I'm always amazed by the humanity of the characters. Also I consider that the situations and the relationships that he portrays are very contemporary. In his books, there is terror, magic and mystery, and, simultaneously, fears and very human worries. I think King will be a classic in the future. I particularly enjoyed: "All That You Love Will Be Carried Away", "The Death of Jack Hamilton", "The Little Sisters of Eluria", "Everything's Eventual", "L. T.'s Theory of Pets", "Lunch at the Gotham Café", "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French" and "Riding the Bullet". Good luck, Alfie Zimmer! (
