A volte ritornano (Italian Edition)

Product Information

A lot of filler leading up the big reveal that doesn’t have a pay off big enough to justify the filler.

In a parallel reality where the NASA space program was able not only reaching the Moon, but also Mars, during a mission to Venus, one of the astronauts suffered an accident, losing the ability to walk, but got in his hands a very twisted and dangerous ability instead. Night Shift is the first collection of short stories by Stephen King, first published in 1978. In 1980, Night Shift received the Balrog Award for Best Collection, and in 1979 it was nominated as best collection for the Locus Award and the World Fantasy Award. Many of King's most famous short stories were included in this collection. In anni precedenti, Harold Parkette aveva sempre tenuto molto al suo prato. Aveva posseduto una grande, argentea Lawnboy, e dava cinque dollari a taglio a un ragazzo del vicinato che veniva ad azionarla. Harold Parkette, in quegli anni, aveva seguito i Red Sox di Boston alla radio con una birra in mano e con la certezza che Dio fosse in cielo e che tutto andasse bene sulla terra, compreso il suo prato.

La storia racconta l'avventura di un gruppo di stranieri intrappolati in un ristorante sull'autostrada, dopo che autotreni e altri camion prendono vita per mezzo di una forza sconosciuta e iniziano a uccidere gli uomini. Gli uomini riescono a lottare per un po' di tempo, ma alla fine l'edificio viene abbattuto, e i pochi sopravvissuti vengono obbligati a rifornire i camion per permettere loro di continuare a funzionare. Non appena fatto, il narratore ha una nitida visione di un futuro in cui loro saranno i padroni. A middle-aged man wants to quit smoking and visits someone who claims to be able to make him do so. The man doubts these claims - until he realizes whereupon he got himself into ... 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. A very good story with a lot of action, insight and interesting twists and turns. I would have liked to read a full-length novel of this with a more fleshed-out protagonist; the potential was clearly visible. A father who has lost all three of his children to 'the boogeyman' visits a psychiatrist to tell about the terrifying deeds which have been committed against his family.

There is a successful lawnmowing company, however, none client has ever being able to see who s the owner of it, one of the clients decided to take a peek and found out the mystery… I’m glad to finally get to Night Shift! I can see that some of the stories in this collection have been turned into movies or another type of entertainment. 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. This story is the least conventionally scary story of the collection, yet it focuses on real horrors. The title itself is chilling; it is very invasive. Los misterios del gusano: Mi relato favorito, sin duda. Aunque King desdibuja un poco su estilo para hacerle un pronunciado homenaje a Lovecraft, debo decir que le imprime algo que le da un gran dinamismo a esta historia, me encantó la ambientación descrita por King, el misterio que le imprime a cada página. Un relato que también sucede en Jerusalem's Lot, y que por la época, se nota que es una historia que pasa antes de lo acontecido en El misterio de Sale's Lot.

Campo de batalla: Un relato con una idea muy original, ya se ha visto en películas por supuesto, pero King le da un toque más serio y crudo, donde los juguetes cobran vida, pero no esperes que eso salga bien.

Something about mutated rats really caught my interest. I'm not normally afraid of rats, but if ever I see one as big as the ones described in this short story, then I would probably be scared as hell.Time for some spring cleaning! Nature is crazy sometimes. Your boss can be a jerk sometimes. Combine the two and you get this terrifying story of revenge. I spent most of the time cringing! Another very good story. Stephen King knows what he is writing, that's for sure (well, if you ignore certain stories like some of those I've mentioned above). I really liked the complex plot and the hidden appearance of supernatural elements.

Elizabeth is minding her business studying at college. She has a boyfriend she loves and everything is okay. Then a strange boy appears that seems to know everything she needs. At first, she's put off. But eventually, she starts to fall in love with this strange guy and his ability to always predict her needs. He always wants to do what she does, he likes all the same movies, the same foods, he can predict her moods and knows just the right thing to say. Elizabeths roommate Alice is not as enamored with this boy as she is.

Everyone needs a friend like Alice: someone that is willing to give you hard truths, even if it risks losing the friendship.
