KING STEPHEN

ΕΡΓΑ ΟΔΟΠΟΙΙΑΣ
"Άκουγα τον εαυτό μου. Αλλά, μέσα τους, οι άνθρωποι μιλούν μια διαφορετική γλώσσα." Για τον Μπάρτον Ντόους πλησιάζει το τέλος. Η προέκταση του αυτοκινητόδρομου 748 θα ισοπεδώσει την ίδια του την ύπαρξη. Όχι μόνο θα περάσει πάνω από το καθαριστήριο όπου βγάζει το ψωμί του, αλλά θα γκρεμίσει και το σπίτι που ζει. Ξαφνικά, στο μυαλό του Μπαρτ συμβαίνει κάτι για το οποίο δεν θα μπορούσαν -ούτε κατά διάνοια- να είναι προετοιμασμένοι οι άκαρδοι γραφειοκράτες: ένα ολοκληρωτικό βραχυκύκλωμα των εγκεφαλικών συνάψεων που εμποδίζουν έναν συνηθισμένο,...

ΤΟ ΣΚΟΤΕΙΝΟ ΜΙΣΟ
Ο Θαντ Μπόμοντ θα έπρεπε να είναι ευτυχισμένος. Επί σειρά ετών έγραφε εξαιρετικά επιτυχημένα βίαια θρίλερ υπογράφοντας ως "Τζορτζ Σταρκ", αλλά πλέον αποφάσισε να αρχίσει και πάλι να γράφει χρησιμοποιώντας το δικό του όνομα, και να "θάψει" για πάντα το δυσοίωνο ψευδώνυμό του. Τώρα όμως είναι ύποπτος για μια σειρά από στυγερές δολοφονίες, που -όπως υποψιάζεται μόνο ο ίδιος- φαίνεται να έχει διαπράξει ο... φανταστικός συγγραφέας των μπεστ σέλερ του. Πώς μπορείς να σκοτώσεις κάτι που δεν γεννήθηκε ποτέ; (Από την παρουσίαση στο οπισθόφυλλο του ...

(P/B) PET SEMATARY
The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat. But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods wh...
