Published in America on November 9 of 2010, Full Dark, No Stars in Italy came out in bookstores on 23 of the same month, therefore, in the same period, and then quickly, as befits an established author and able this Stephen King.
It is a new "kind", that I have not presented yet on the blog in another post because it has never happened: a collection of short stories. It is a prose narrative that consists of several stories linked by a logical connection (four novels, four women tortured) and a moral message recognizable to end (if we subtract to do the right thing, intentionally or not, consequently it will be hell).
The subgenre of this novel is a horror, a book based on the idea of wanting to establish fear, or a sense of insecurity and anxiety in the reader, something where Stephen King excels.
The US author Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland in 1947, it is one of the most celebrated authors in terms of horror and fantasy literature of the last quarter of the twentieth century. He published more than eighty works, including novels and short story collections.
Plot:
A farmer kills his wife and throws it into a well. Her crime? Want to sell a plot of land inherited. "The earth is a matter of man, not the woman."
Nebraska, 1922. Tess writes yellow "reassuring", populated by old ladies who play at the detective. One evening, she is attacked and raped by a mysterious "giant". Believed dead and left in a drainage ditch, survives and meditates revenge.
Streeter, bank with cancer, meets the Devil in the shape of a street vendor. The deal concludes that decides the fate of his best friend, guilty of stealing the girl many years ago.
Two years after the silver wedding, Darcy discovers that her husband keeps a secret in the garage. A river of madness runs beneath the flowery meadow of their marriage. What to do? Carry on as before, or look for a way out?
Stephen King explores the psyche of strong women who do not accept the abuse and almost always find their revenge. That does not always coincide with a happy ending ...
The poison is poured out like ink in water
My rewiew: I state that I read Full Dark, no stars at least three years ago.
Right now I'm really wondering how I could read a book like this, so full of malice that this even seems to escape from the white pages inked. A book that remains, even after years that it has read.
The style of King at the beginning I did not like, but now it is like a drug for me. I can not stop reading his works, are too beautiful and meaningful.
The first pages are usually the most tiring to read, but overcome them, then the rest of the book flies off in your hands and you are there that, page after page will fascinate more and more to the way a person writes.
It's a book suitable for adults and teenagers, but my mom made me reckless read as a child and now you understand why they are so. That is why I strongly recommend that you do not sooo recommended in growth environments such as schools or churches or summer camps or something, because this book there the blocks, growth. That is, it is very interesting, probably even for children, but I think the topics are not just entirely appropriate at that age, rather recommend other readings, as Narnia, or Agatha Christie, which are classics, but really interesting and beautiful to read.
The theme of the book interested me a lot, even though a child may not know what
meant the word 'torture', and that's why I decided to review it today.
The reason why I voted four stars instead of five is simple: it is a beautiful book that comes close to being one of my favorites, but can not become one.
P.S. probably soon I begin to review books for children / teenagers, for authors such as Roald Dahl, beautiful!
