About this deal

The only story I knew for sure would be in Night Shift was Jerusalem's Lot. I was already looking forward to reading it because Salem's Lot is in my opinion, a classic. This short story explores the ancestry of Jerusalem's Lot.

Campo de batalla: Un relato con una idea muy original, ya se ha visto en películas por supuesto, pero King le da un toque más serio y crudo, donde los juguetes cobran vida, pero no esperes que eso salga bien. An assassin recently killed a toy corporation owner? And now he’s received a box of homicidal toy soldiers? Is this a joke?! E la notte del 31 ottobre 1789, Philip Boone scomparve... e con lui tutta la plebaglia di quel maledetto villaggio. I now love collections for the diversity in story, characters and settings they offer. And Night Shift is one of my favourites, pulpy bundle of great tales. So let’s jump in. This is a story about ancestry, about the evil we inherit, and about the past we can't escape. The beauty and the genius of this story is the way it is told. The epistolary form is perfect for creating tension as we slowly see the narrator go from "yay I love my new home" to "hmm I think there must be a large rat infestation in the walls" to "umm why won't the townsfolk speak to me" to "um so theres an abandoned town next door suffused with a poisonous miasma." to "oh goodness! I don't think those are rats in the walls" A masterclass in tension, pacing, and atmosphere.Nothing felt particularly outstanding in this story except for the epistolary structure, and as an introduction to the anthology it was a little bit deterring to me. Marejada nocturna: Relato que sirvió de inspiración para una de las novelas más conocidas de King. Apocalipsis. He notado que a muy pocas personas les gusta este relato, debo decir que a mí me gustó, Apocalipsis es mi lectura actual y no dejaba de pensar en el relato como una historia dentro de esa novela, para mí fue muy interesante sentir esa sensación.

This short story is the inspiration for my favorite edition of Night Shift. The cover features a Bandaged hand with eyes staring out from gaps in the wrapping. This short story is body horror done the way I like it. Add in space germs, and a hefty dose of Kurt Vonnegut and Ray Bradbury inspo, and you've got a memorable short story. This one feels like heat lightning and thunder after the rain.El hombre que amaba las flores: Este relato es el que para mí sí no hubiera estado no me hubiera perdido de nada, es corto por fortuna, pero a comparación del resto es un poco flojo, creo que está ahí para sumar el número redondo a la antología, ya que no sería lo mismo decir que este libro cuenta con diecinueve relatos, a que cuenta con veinte. A middle-aged man wants to quit smoking and visits someone who claims to be able to make him do so. The man doubts these claims - until he realizes whereupon he got himself into ... Negli anni ottanta, il produttore Milton Suborsky acquistò i diritti di sei delle storie con l'idea di produrre in futuro film per la televisione e un'antologia basata su molte storie. Nonostante Suborsky fu coinvolto in molti adattamenti la serie tv non fu mai prodotta. Okay so a man buys flowers for his sweetheart. Only turns out there’s also this hammer murderer running about. Suspicious. Turns out our murderer thinks all women are this one woman named Norma that rejected him, so he gets murdery ever time he’s rejected by strange women that are like “umm sorry I’m not Norma?”
