A volte ritornano (Italian Edition)

Product Information

Two young brothers cross fates with a gang of punks, and after one of the brothers died, the other escapes. Years later, the surviving brother got married and became an English teacher… Something about mutated rats really caught my interest. I'm not normally afraid of rats, but if ever I see one as big as the ones described in this short story, then I would probably be scared as hell.

And then there was an answer, a voice coming out of the dark like little tinkling silver bells, and my heart turned cold as ice in a cistern"

Questo racconto è stato tradotto in immagini nel secondo episodio del film L'occhio del gatto (1985) di Lewis Teague. 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?” In anni precedenti, Harold Parkette aveva sempre tenuto molto al suo prato. Aveva posseduto una grande, argentea Lawnboy, e dava cinque dollari a taglio a un ragazzo del vicinato che veniva ad azionarla. Harold Parkette, in quegli anni, aveva seguito i Red Sox di Boston alla radio con una birra in mano e con la certezza che Dio fosse in cielo e che tutto andasse bene sulla terra, compreso il suo prato. The Boogeyman - 5 Stars - An excellent executed tale about a not so nice guy that has one creepy ending. Continuavo a pensare: Be', e se fosse lì dentro? Bene accucciato e pronto a balzar fuori nell'attimo in cui io apro la porta? E cominciavo a pensare di sentire rumori viscidi, come se qualcosa di nero, di verdastro e di fradicio d'acqua si muoveva ogni tanto dentro l'armadio a muro.

A crossover between the genres Horror and Sci-Fi, this story fantastically explores the effects of a confrontation of one human being with alien powers. I was hooked from the beginning and suffered vicariously my way through to the ending along with a hardly remarkable protagonist who turned into an interesting character because of his fate - as, after being exposed to a certain mutagen, tiny eyeballs break out on his fingertips ... We've been here before . . . many times . . . and we will definitely go here again someday. But, whenever we go, evil is sure to follow. A very creepy sequel!This one just didn't catch my attention or attract my interest. I forgot what it was about ten minutes after reading it. 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. A middle-aged man wants to quit smoking and visits someone who claims to be able to make him do so. The man doubts these claims - until he realizes whereupon he got himself into ... 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. A lot of filler leading up the big reveal that doesn’t have a pay off big enough to justify the filler.

Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums. Y aunque no sea de los que suelen releer cosas que me han gustado mucho en el pasado, con este no me he podido resistir. Y creedme, sigue siendo una recopilación INSUPERABLE. This short story is perfect; it's as simple as that. No supernatural elements, but instead chilling and suspenseful writing with an ending which made me swallow more than once. Easily one of my favorite short stories of all time. A deserted town. A heavy snowstorm. Vampires lurking in the dark. Sounds like everyone would want to be right in the middle of this scenario, doesn't it? This story is the least conventionally scary story of the collection, yet it focuses on real horrors. The title itself is chilling; it is very invasive.

Opere contenute [ modifica | modifica wikitesto ] Jerusalem's Lot [ modifica | modifica wikitesto ] Me despido de un compañero al que solía a visitar antes de dormir. Fue una buena experiencia esta antología, señalada como la mejor de King, y bueno, ¿Por qué diría que no es así? Ya había leído algunos relatos del autor y me habían parecido muy normales, cuestión que me hizo encarar con recelo está antología a pesar de sus buenas críticas, sin embargo, y para mi fortuna, diecinueve de los veinte relatos que se encuentran acá me parecieron muy destacables, obviamente unos me gustaron más que otros, y solo uno me pareció que sí no estuviera no me hubiera perdido de nada, pero ya hablaré de ello más adelante. Jerusalem’s Lot:This was the reason I decided to read this book in the first place. It’s a sort of prequel to the events of Salem’s Lot: a man moves into a house that once belonged to his ancestors and progressively discovers an unsettling relation between his family and a ghost town called Jerusalem’s Lot. Originality might not be the most prominent factor of this short story, but it was executed quite nicely. I liked the main character and it was a satisfying short read. The worst story for me was The Lawnmower man, which also had one of the worst movies I've ever seen named after it. Stephen King even sued to have his name removed from it, and really....it had *almost* nothing at all to do with the story at all; in fact it inspired the film Virtuosity, which was released a few years later....and the jump from the short story King wrote to the movie Virtuosity is a long one. I'm surprised Pierce Brosnan was in The Lawnmower Man...it was so ridiculous. King's story wasn't great, but it came nowhere near the absolute horribleness of the movie.
