Carrie
At home, Carrie deals with a religiously fanatic mother who never spoke about menstruation because she believed it was sinful. Mrs. White is a single mother who preaches, what she believes to be Christ's ways, all through the neighborhood. When Carrie is "bad" and "sinful," she gets thrown into the prayer closet to "pray for forgiveness." Everything in Mrs. White's mind is sinful. And because Carrie's father died, she has no one else to turn to for help.
This novel, at times, is honestly horrifying. Lovers of scary stories (and King) are sure to enjoy this read. Some complain about the passages of Carrie White and her telekinesis but I found them to be the ideal story tie-in and quite useful to explain Carrie's past and further talk of her powers. If you've seen the movie, you may almost feel as if it's a must to read this book but that really isn't the case here. The book stands wonderful all on its own

sa farmár, ktorého svet v roku 1922 stojí na pokraji zatiaľ netušenej krízy, rozhodne brutálne zavraždiť manželku? Prečo donúti svojho nedospelého syna, aby mu pri vražde pomáhal? Prečo sa nenápadná Tess, spisovateľka, ktorej knihy prinášajú slušné,
ale nie prehnane luxusné živobytie, stane obeťou znásilnenia? Prečo je muž, ktorého život má ukončiť rakovina, odrazu zdravý, šťastný a úspešný? Prečo je manželstvo dvoch ľudí aj po dvadsiatich siedmich rokoch spolužitia stále postavené na lži? A čo
sa stane, až túto zverskú a tragickú lož manželka náhle odhalí? Alebo ešte inak: Prečo je ľudské srdce schopné zla i nekonečného sebaobetovania? Otázka, ktorú si položil Stephen King, otvorila v jeho predstavivosti nové temné zdroje inšpirácie. Číta
jte, nazrite do očí zlu a držte palce tým zvyškom dobra, ktoré sa proti nemu odvážia postaviť! A ešte jedna autorova rada čitateľom: Ak pôjdete na veľmi tmavé miesto napríklad do domu farmára Wilfa Jamesa v Nebraske v poviedke 1922 , mali by ste

Full dark, no stars

he early pages of the riveting confession that makes up '1922', the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerising tales from Stephen King, linked by the theme of retribution. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife Arlette proposes sell
ing off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness. In 'Big Driver', a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger is along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home
after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face to face with another stranger: the one inside herself. 'Fair Extension', the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the f
unniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks fo
r batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends 'A Good Marriage'. Like DIFFERENT
SEASONS and FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT, which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, FULL DARK, NO STARS proves Stephen King a master of the long story form.

A búra alatt I-II.
Chester's Mill békés kisváros. Ezt legfeljebb Dale Barbara, iraki veterán, most gyorséttermi szakács vonná kétségbe, aki összetűzésbe keveredett a városka legnagyobb hatalmú emberének a fiával és a barátaival. Szerencséje volt, mert a rendőrfőnök nem
a befolyásos apának hitt, hanem neki. De Barbie tanult a történtekből: úgy dönt, továbbáll. Olyan sok a hasonló kisváros, és közepesen sült hamburgert készítő szakácsra mindenhol szükség van. Számításába egyetlen hiba csúszik - a Búra, amely váratla
nul, a derült égből ereszkedik alá, és elvágja Chester's Millt a külvilágtól. És ahogy az emberek lassan felfogják, hogy a láthatatlan, de nagyon is valóságos akadály ott van és ott marad, kiderül, hogy Chester's Mill nem is olyan békés hely.

Běh o život
Běh o život, napínavý román, který napsal Stephen King pod pseudonymem Richard Bachman, zná český čtenář pod názvem Running Man a takto byl uveden do distribuce i film s Arnoldem Schwarzeneggerem (sám King filmu na chuť příliš nepřišel). Sci-fi z nedaleké budoucnosti líčí temnými barvami industriální svět, nikoli nepodobný totalitě. Zábavu apatickým masám obstarává jediný televizní kanál, který vysílá obskurní zvrácené soutěže, z nichž nejdrsnější a nejpopulárnější je Běh o život. Vybraný jedinec, v tomto případě Ben Richards, je vypuštěn do ulic Ameriky jako lovná zvěř. Po dvanácti hodinách ho začnou pronásledovat profesionální Lovci, podporovaní mnoha udavači z řad televizních diváků. Prchající zoufalec sahá pod vidinou odměny ve výši milionu dolarů k těm nejkrutějším prostředkům, aby pronásledovatele setřásl.
