Full dark No stars . This is the title of last book by Stephen King. Published in 2010 and already read by more than one million of readers, this book is considered a very novelty in the literary world of this author.
After fantasy and horror, King moved on a new way of writing which transforms realty in horror. Some readers don’t like this work, because they are used to old works by Stephen King. Full Dark, No Stars consists of four stories: 1922, Big driver, Fair extension and A Good Marriage.
All this stories have in common episodes of violence and aggressivity against women. The first story tells about an husband who killed his wife under the eyes of his son, the second talks about a famous author who is raped by a driver in a solitary place, at night, and during her travel of return from a literary conference, the third story is, perhaps, the one which talks of horror and fear because the main characters are a seller and the devil.
The last story, “A Good Marriage” is certainly that I consider the best, because it talks about a couple married from thirty years, but who is still unable to know herself. Only after many years of marriage the wife discovers her husband is a serial killer who killed dozen of women.
By reading these pages, the reader will discover a dark world made of lies and half truths. This book takes also to think which some tragedies may happen even in our life and which realty can sometimes be worse than fantasy.
“Full Dark, No Stars” is available at book stores of your city and online store where you also may find a version e-book. If you haven’t it done yet, I advice you to read this book. That is a great work which confirms the enormous talent of Stephen King. Unfortunately this book is not free but is enough cheap. A copy in e-book format costs only three dollars.
