237 Руб.King Stephen The Tommyknockers
There is a reason why Stephen King is one of the bestselling writers in the world, ever. Described in the Daily Express as 'a fabulous teller of stories', Stephen King writes books that draw you in and are impossible to put down. Everything is familiar. But everything has changed. Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide. It all looks the same, the house, the furniture, Jim's friend Bobbi, her beagle (though ageing), even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away. Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.
4191 Руб.King Stephen Just After Sunset
Stephen Kingwho has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable moviesdelivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everythings Eventual six years ago. As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007, King spent over a year reading hundreds of stories. His renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset. The stories in this collection have appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, McSweeneys, The Paris Review, Esquire, and other publications. Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. Or an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle, begun to reduce bad cholesterol, might take its rider on a captivatingand then terrifyingjourney. Set on a remote key in Florida, The Gingerbread Girl is a riveting tale featuring a young woman as vulnerableand resourcefulas Audrey Hepburns character in Wait Until Dark. In Ayana, a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand. For King, the line between the living and the dead is often blurry, and the seams that hold our reality intact might tear apart at any moment. In one of the longer stories here, N., which broke new ground when it was adapted as a graphic digital entertainment, a psychiatric patients irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside...or keep the world from falling victim to it. Just After Sunsetcall it dusk, call it twilight, its a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. Its the perfect time for Stephen King.
1661 Руб.American Supernatural Tales
Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro. American Supernatural Tales is the ultimate collection of weird and frightening American short fiction. As Stephen King will attest, the popularity of the occult in American literature has only grown since the days of Edgar Allan Poe. The book celebrates the richness of this tradition with chilling contributions from some of the nation's brightest literary lights, including Poe himself, H. P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and-of course-Stephen King. By turns phantasmagoric, spectral, and demonic, this is a frighteningly good collection of stories.
3853 Руб.King Stephen Danse Macabre

DANSE MACABRE ranges across the whole spectrum of horror in popular culture from the seminal classics of Dracula and Frankenstein. It is a charming and fascinating book, replete with pertinent anecdote and observation, in which Stephen King describes his ideas on how horror works on many levels and how he brings it to bear on his own inimitable novels.

2182 Руб.King Stephen Selected Stories
Книга организована по принципу билингвы: произведения опубликованы на языке оригинала с параллельным переводом на русский язык. Место действия представленных в книге рассказов Стивена Кинга - огромная территория от Лондона до Нью-Йорка. Но разница в декорациях не мешает воспринимать произведения как написанные на один мотив: таинственная и даже мистическая атмосфера, яркие образы, динамичный сюжет и всегда неожиданный финал. Действие рассказов захватывает читателя и описанием происходящего, и аллюзиями на классические произведения хоррор-литературы. Изучение иностранного языка методом параллельного чтения помогает не только расширять словарный запас, но и эффективно работать над усвоением грамматических конструкций и речевых оборотов.
