  • "'I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...' writes Wilfred Leland James in the 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 selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness."
  • "'I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...' writes Wilfred Leland James in the 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 selling 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 funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Harry 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 for 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'."@en

  • "Schuld, Sühne, Rache, Gerechtigkeit - Stephen King at his best! Stephen King gilt als grösster Geschichtenerzähler unserer Zeit. Nun legt er vier grosse Novellen vor, die alle ein Thema haben: Vergeltung! Ob als Täter oder Opfer, unschuldig oder schuldig, durch Schicksal oder Absicht - wir kommen in Situationen, die uns eine Entscheidung abverlangen: Wie weit muss ich gehen, bis mir Gerechtigkeit widerfährt? Manchmal muss man sehr weit gehen ... '1922': Ein Vater überredet seinen Sohn auf perfide Weise, gemeinsam mit ihm die Ehefrau/Mutter umzubringen ? und der Horror für den Rest des Lebens der beiden nimmt seinen Anfang. 'Big Driver': Die Schriftstellerin Tess wird nach einer Lesung brutal vergewaltigt. Sie will auf eigene Faust Vergeltung üben ... 'Faire Verlängerung': Der schwer krebskranke Streeter geht einen teuflischen Pakt ein. Seine Genesung und sein Glück scheinen fortan Unglück und Untergang für andere zu sein. Kann er dem Einhalt gebieten? Will er das überhaupt? 'Eine gute Ehe': Zufällig entdeckt Darcy, dass der Mann, mit dem sie 27 Jahre lang glücklich verheiratet ist, ein Doppelleben als wahres Ungeheuer führt. Bis dass der Tod euch scheidet ... ist das der einzige Ausweg? Vier grandiose, bislang unveröffentlichte Novellen."
  • "With an afterword in which Stephen King describes the inspiration behind each of these short stories, 'Full Dark, No Circles' contains close-up portraits which bristle with intensity."@en
  • ""1922: Wilfred Leland Jones mató a su mujer y escondió su cadáver en un viejo pozo. El remordimiento le persigue día a día. Camionero grande: Tess es escritora. Una mañana, mientras conducía, pincha una rueda y se ve obligada a aceptar la ayuda de un hombre fornido que conduce una furgoneta y que la violará repetidamente hasta darla por muerta. Una extensión justa: Streeter tiene cáncer. Un día conoce a Elvid, quien le ofrece una extraña "extensión de vida" a cambio del 15% de todo el dinero que gane en quince años. Un buen matrimonio: Darcy y Bob llevan veinticinco años casados. Llevan una vida tranquila, algo aburrida. Todo cambiará cuando Darcy descubra que su esposo es un asesino en serie." --Casa del Libro web site."@es
