Nejnovější sbírka povídek a novel, k nimž napsal Mistr doslov přesně před dvě lety, prodchnutá aktuálními tématy jako Covid či odkazem na minulost - jedna povídka byla rozepsána před 40ti lety a dokončena až do této sbírky. Je to parádní čtení, chtěl jsem počkat až si zkompletuji všechny svazky a číst je postupně, ale není k tomu důvod. Každá povídka či novela je svérázná po kingovsku a přesto s každou objevíte něco nového. Nejvíc mě dostala Noční můra, ale i Chřestýši. Ostatní byli jen o chlup méně dechberoucí. Nyní si představuji jak a co asi Mistr píše na pozadí cirkusu, který se v USA odehrává. Věřím, že jeho nová kniha si opět nebude brát ohledy. King je prostě ten, který píše nijak vyumělkovaně, ale hltáte každé slovo.

"Rattlesnakes," a sequel to Cujo, follows a grieving widower who seeks solace in Florida but encounters an inheritance fraught with complications. "The Dreamers" features a taciturn Vietnam veteran who answers a job ad, only to discover some mysteries of the universe are best left untouched. "The Answer Man" questions whether foresight is a blessing or a curse, illustrating how a life filled with tragedy can still hold meaning. King's unmatched ability to surprise and evoke both terror and comfort shines through in each story, making them feel iconic.
