Stephen King: Different Seasons (Paperback, New American Library)
Brossura
Pubblicato da New American Library.
Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more dramatic bend, rather than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles that relate to each of the four seasons.
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption--the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo.
Apt Pupil--a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism.
The Body--four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality.
The Breathing Method--a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what. (source)
"Stagioni diverse", sta per il tentativo di Stephen King di uscire dal clichet dell'orrore. I racconti sono tutti ben godibili ed è un crescendo: l'ultimo è senza dubbio il mio preferito.
