Relation Supposing Books The Bazaar of Bad Dreams
A master storyteller at his best—the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand-new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story. Since his first collection, Nightshift, published thirty-five years ago, Stephen King has dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he assembles, for the first time, recent stories that have never been published in a book. He introduces each with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing 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. “Afterlife” is about a man who died of colon cancer and 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. Other stories 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, the names of 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. Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King’s finest gifts to his constant reader—“I made them especially for you,” says King. “Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth.”

This book is a big old chunk...and so worth the price of admission.I've never thought of Stephen King as a straight up horror author. He is more than that, he scares the crud out of me with his remarkable ability to look at humanity. He seems to be getting to (for me anyways) to a point in his life where he is debating life and what happens to us after..these stories seem to have that theme to some of them. These stories are mostly stories that have at some time or another been publishedA goodly collection of short stories written by the master tale spinner, Stephen King. Not a single clinker in the batch, but as always, some with more of a bite than the others.If you are one of those individuals who continues to drag your feet about getting an e-reader, you may have been right all along. UR certainly suggests it. This one was full of tasty Easter eggs, and speaks to the Paradox Law. Morality is one of the yarns with embedded teeth. Disturbing. Inside these pages you will come
Yet another wonderful collection of short stories, some with twists and turns you simply dont see coming. Plus, it features autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story.
I just realized I havent reviewed this book yet even though I finished it weeks ago. (Im so far behind!)I listened to this on audio and it was phenomenally done. It had a full cast- Stephen King reads the introductions himself (as well as one story) which really gave me that cozy feeling of being read to. And the rest of the cast did a great job.Most of these stories were excellent. I dont want to review them all because some were quite short, but my stand out favorite was far and away: Drunken
Reseña de todos los relatos y de la colección en general en el blog: Click aquÃThe Bazaar of Bad Dreams is a collection of 18 short stories and 2 poems by Stephen King and, as with every collection he has published, it's a mixed bag: there were some very good stories and a couple that were kind of lame. Still, the only one I really hated was a poem because I'm not a big fan of those.Even though I think that none of these stories deserves a five star rating, it's a very solid collection that kept
I waited so, so long for this book, and while I cannot say I disliked it, I do feel that it wasn't as strong as some of Mr. King's other collections. There were some stories here I loved, and some that, as some of Mr. King's more colorful characters might say, "Sucked the big one." I don't want to bog you down in Reviewland, so I'll just give a sentence or two for each, and an individual rating. It may or may not average out to four stars, but I'm giving it one for the cover. Sue me. Mile 81 -
Stephen King's latest short story collection consists of twenty (more or less) original stories and novellas, once again proving that King's imagination has not yet ceased to create new horrifying and stunning scenarios which he is able to put so easily and fluently into words. However, there are quite a few reasons for why this collection generally rather disappointed me, even though King managed to hide some true gems in here.I am going to talk about some of them in depth in the rest of this
