Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW TOP 10 HORROR BOOK OF 2024 WINNER OF THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR HORROR FINALIST FOR THE 2025 LOCUS AWARDS 'Stephen King knows You Like It Darker and obliges with sensational new tales' (USA TODAY): From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King, an extraordinary collection of stories that are 'a master class in tension and full of King's dark humor' (The New York Times Book Review)-now with a bonus story, 'The Music Room.''You like it darker Fine, so do I,' writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life-both 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 read. King writes to feel 'the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,' and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again. 'Two Talented Bastids' explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In 'Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream,' a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. In 'Rattlesnakes,' a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance-with major strings attached. In 'The Dreamers,' a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. 'The Answer Man' asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful. 'King's skills as a storyteller remain undimmed' (The Minnesota Star Tribune) and his ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace is unsurpassed. 'The titular darkness promised is as riveting and all-consuming as ever' (New York magazine). You like it darker You got it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From PEN Award-winning author Sergio de la Pava comes an existential detective novel about a private investigator who flees New York City for Colombia after a personal tragedy and finds himself entangled in a young woman's strange disappearance-which may be connected to one of the world's most ruthless criminal organizations.Riv-poet, philosopher, private eye-arrives in Cali, Colombia, hoping to find reprieve. Running away from an unspeakable event surrounding his ex Jane, Riv accidentally connects with his cousin Mauro and family friend Carlotta, who asks him to find her daughter Angelica Alfa-Ochoa. No sooner is Riv on the trail when it becomes clear that not only are the cops not looking for Angelica, but they are actively preventing him from finding her. This could be a good thing because the police are clearly in the pocket of one Exeter Mondragon, a name best never uttered in public if one wants to stay alive. But Riv is not one to leave things incomplete. When his investigation leads him straight into the heart of Mondragon's criminal empire, he is forced not only to face unimaginable horrors, but also to plunge into the deepest and most perplexing conundrums of the human condition.Lightning fast on the page and steeped in the cultural history of Colombia, Every Arc Bends Its Radian is a novel only Sergio de la Pava could write. As incredibly funny as it is ridiculously smart, it poses large philosophical questions while keeping you laughing. A novel idea about the biggest idea of them all-what in God's name are we even put on earth for, this book is a singular exploration of the human mind.Praise for Every Arc Bends Its Radian:'De La Pava's commitment to ideas - their creation and their interrogation - is so fervid that it lights up his prose. Riv wants to take us somewhere new, as intellectual strivers always want to, whether their stories are bound within a philosophical argument, a sweeping historical epic or a good old-fashioned detective yarn. It's invigorating to be dropped in the middle of such an effort and to feel that whatever we might guess is coming next, the truth is likely to be much, much stranger.'-Dwyer Murphy, New York Times'This is the only book you'll read this year (or any year ) in which a meeting with a supervillain leads to a five-page exegesis on the life and works of the third-century Saint Cyprian, 'the Magician.'
