A volte ritornano (Italian Edition)

Product Information

This one just didn't catch my attention or attract my interest. I forgot what it was about ten minutes after reading it. I ragazzi non si sarebbero avventurati in mezzo al grano, col buio. Quello era un luogo sacro, il luogo di Colui Che Cammina Dietro i Filari. Seduti sotto il portico della mia casa, Richard e io guardavamo oltre le dune, verso il golfo. Il fumo del suo sigaro si levava dolcemente nell'aria, tenendo a distanza le zanzare. Il mare era color acquamarina, il cielo di un azzurro più profondo e più intenso. Un accostamento gradevole.

A man goes to the psychiatrist to talk out his strange and deadly past experiences that caused the death of all his children…

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. Che piacere, per me, mettere piede nell'entrata gelida e piena di correnti d'aria, qui a Chapelwaite, con tutte le ossa doloranti per colpa di quell'abominevole carrozza, con l'urgenza di dare immediato sollievo alla mia povera vescica... e riconoscere la tua inimitabile zampa di gallina sulla lettera indirizzata a me e appoggiata sopra l'orribile tavolinetto di ciliegio accanto alla porta! An assassin recently killed a toy corporation owner? And now he’s received a box of homicidal toy soldiers? Is this a joke?! Do you know this feeling when you're reading a mystery and suddenly have an idea on the potential outcome, which is so unlikely you immediately pass it, but then you realize the author has actually chosen this outcome for his story? I experienced it here, and it made me love the story even more. One of King's less-known stories, but definitely a fine piece of writing. The ending can be spoiled so easily that I will not even attempt to give you an idea of what it is about. Ho ricevuto la lettera di Katrina ieri, meno di una settimana dopo che mio padre e io siamo tornati da Los Angeles. Era stata mandata a Wilmington, nel Delaware, e da allora io mi sono trasferito altre due volte. La gente si sposta di continuo, ora, ed è strano come quegli indirizzi cancellati e quelle etichette del cambio di indirizzo possano sembrare altrettante accuse.

I really only had 3 stories I disliked: Number 1 was The Lawnmower Man I don't even want to talk about it. It was awful Another Salem's Lot STUNNER! My favorite of the collection. The atmosphere is the winner here! Set in a blizzard, a man wanders in to Tookey's bar. His family is trapped in a snow drift in the town of Salems' Lot. The bar owner and his friend Booth decide to help this man out but they let him know: IF his family is not in the car when they arrive.. they are leaving. Sure enough, the car is empty...and then the sound of tinkling bells among the howling wind. I really enjoyed the themes of of addiction & alcoholism and thought the monster like transformation was a brilliant way to represent the pain alcoholism can inflict on those around the addict. Everyone needs a friend like Alice: someone that is willing to give you hard truths, even if it risks losing the friendship.

Other stories showcase elements of science fiction, post-apocalyptic horror, gory horror, drama, and even comedy. One story in particular, which most people don't seem to like, given its terrible rating on Goodreads as a standalone short story, I absolutely loved. It's called Battleground, and pits a hitman against an army of G.I. Joe toy soldiers that have come to life. It's cute, and so different from everything else I've ever read from King, and honestly it's just such a fun story. I think I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it, which is so rare for me. I can't remember the last time I just enjoyed reading as much as when I read that story. It's a new all time favourite for me. 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.

Questo racconto è stato tradotto in immagini nel secondo episodio del film L'occhio del gatto (1985) di Lewis Teague.teachers have more ulcers than any other professional group, with the exception of air traffic controllers." 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. Graveyard Shift - 3 Stars - Sometimes you just want to read a nasty story about some nasty characters and this is it. Set during the summer in a factory in Maine, the story focuses on a group of men who volunteer to work extra to clean the buildings basement. It’s grim work made grimmer by the discovery that the men aren’t the lords of the basement realm. That title belongs to the rats. In an industrial laundry facility, due an odd series of coincidences, a speed ironer machine tasted blood… Love is in the air, but so is murder, and the fateful date of a man with the woman who loves will turn into a tragedy.

Jim ricordò l'ammonimento contenuto in Come evocare i demoni: il pericolo che l'operazione comportava. Potevi forse chiamarli, potevi forse indurli a lavorare con te, potevi perfino sbarazzartene. Ma, a volte, essi ritornano. Harold Parkette is devastated. He can't stand to look at his poor lawn, and his family is so disturbed that they all collectively ignore the growing weeds and tall grass. Until the neighbors start to complain. So Harold begins looking for a new lawn mowing service. Because he certainly won't be mowing his own lawn. Eravamo nel suo appartamento, un attico al quarantatreesimo piano. La moquette era soffice e foltissima, color arancione scuro. Al centro, tra la poltroncina di canapa dove sedeva Cressner e il divano di vero cuoio dove non sedeva nessuno, c'era una comune borsa per la spesa. I am not going to write about each of these stories, mainly because I'm no good at rating each individual story. This book gets 5* from me because of some of the things I mentioned above, and that I really enjoyed reading it. I only plan to mention some of my most and least favorites.I was pleasantly surprised by these early works, as it seems to me King is not one of those authors who needs to develop a lot of skill over time....I have heard/read that often writers do their best work when their bellies are not too full (I am aware that this is a misquote, by King himself...perhaps Duma Key was one of the places), and the case is proven to me here. These are from the period he was trying to feed his young family, as well as get his foot in the door. The earliest published one seems to be Strawberry Spring, published in 1968, six years prior to Carrie (which was meant to be a short story in itself, for another magazine, that his wife Tabitha dug out of the garbage, and encouraged him to turn it into a novel...that story is in my review of Carrie, so I won't bore anyone with further comments on it...except to say...Yay! to Tabitha one more time...she gave him shoves and suggestions all along, good ones, and King's fan's owe her a lot). Camiones: Uno de esos relatos que me hizo ver estos vehículos de otra manera, además de que debo confesar que les tengo un poco de miedo, y con este relato, mi miedo aumentó un poco más.
