The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

Autor Stephen King
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2018
Moralitatea, viața de apoi, vina, ceea ce am putea face în viitor dacă l-am putea vedea sau ce am putea corecta din trecutul nostru. Acestea sunt câteva dintre temele abordare de către Stephen în cea mai recentă colecție de povestiri lansată sub semnătura sa. 
Afterlife este o poveste despre un om care a decedat din cauza cancerului de colon, dar retrăiește aceeași viață repetându-și greșelile din nou și din nou. 
Mare parte dintre povestirile găsite în acest volum sunt despre personaje aflate în ultimele momente de viață care își revizuiesc greșelile și deciziile din trecut. 
Alte povestiri au protagoniști care descoperă că dețin puteri supranaturale - columnistul care omoară oameni scriind anunțuri mortuare în Obits, bătrânul judecător din The Dune care copil fiind vede pe o plajă pustie scrise în nisip numele unor oameni care au murit în accidente ciudate la mulți ani de la această întâmplare. 
În Morality, King urmărește destrămarea unei căsnicii atunci când soțul face un pact cu diavolul și acum nu mai poate da înapoi.

Descriere scurtă

Includes the story "Premium Harmony"?set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine

The masterful #1 New York Times bestselling story collection from O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King that includes twenty-one iconic stories with accompanying autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write (or rewrite) each one.

For more than thirty-five years, Stephen King has dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he introduces each story with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it.

As Entertainment Weekly said about this collection: "Bazaar of Bad Dreams is bursting with classic King terror, but what we love most are the thoughtful introductions he gives to each tale that explain what was going on in his life as he wrote it."

There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. In "Afterlife," a man who died of colon cancer keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Others address what happens when someone discovers that he has supernatural powers?the columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in "Obits;" the old judge in "The Dune" who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw names written in the sand, people who then died in freak accidents. In "Morality," King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil's pact they can win.

"I made these stories especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth."
