Overview

Ā«ĀæTe gusta la oscuridad? Perfecto. A mĆ tambiĆ©nĀ» es cĆ³mo inicia Stephen King el epĆlogo de este nuevo y magnĆfico volumen de doce relatos que se adentran en la parte mĆ”s sombrĆa de la vida. King lleva mĆ”s de medio siglo siendo un maestro literario, y estas historias sobre el destino, la mortalidad, la suerte y los mĆŗltiples pliegos de la realidad son tan ricas y absorbentes como sus novelas.

Ā«Serpientes de cascabelĀ», secuela de la novela Cujo, nos presenta a un viudo que viaja a Florida buscando descanso y, en su lugar, se topa con una inesperada herenciaā¦ con mĆ”s de una atadura. En Ā«Los soƱadoresĀ», un taciturno veterano de la guerra de Vietnam acepta un encargo y descubre que hay algunos rincones del universo que deberĆan quedar inexplorados. Ā«Hombre RespuestaĀ» nos plantea si el don de la clarividencia es una bendiciĆ³n o una maldiciĆ³n, y nos recuerda que incluso una vida marcada por la tragedia tiene significado.
La habilidad del Rey del Terror para sorprender, inspirar y provocarnos tanto miedo como consuelo al mismo tiempo no tiene parangĆ³n. Cada uno de estos relatos contiene sus propios escalofrĆos, alegrĆas y misterios, y todos son icĆ³nicos. ĀæOs gusta la oscuridad? Pues aquĆ la tenĆ©is
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary new collection of twelve short stories, many never-before-published, and some of his best EVER.
āYou like it darker? Fine, so do I,ā writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of lifeāboth metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest. King writes to feel āthe exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,ā and in You Like It Darker, listeners will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.Ā
āTwo Talented Bastidsā explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In āDanny Coughlinās Bad Dream,ā a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Dannyās most catastrophically. In āRattlesnakes,ā a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritanceāwith major strings attached. In āThe Dreamers,ā a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. āThe Answer Manā asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
Kingās ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.
