Blaze»rank: 21027par: Stephen King
Chroniques et points de vue: Amazon.co.uk: There was a time when admirers of Stephen King would seek out every scrap from the Master's work bench, and it was a cause for celebration when it was discovered that the writer Richard Bachman was, in fact, a pseudonym for King. There were more King novels available than we had all thought! And it was even more an occasion for celebration when it was discovered just how good these Bachman books were. With Blaze (issued here with a new foreword by Stephen King), we have one of the most adroit entries in the series. King had written the book in 1973 and it had subsequently vanished from his personal radar as he busied himself writing Carrie and Salem's Lot, two of the books that were to both make his fortune and establish him as the greatest modern master of horror fiction. When Blaze turned up among his papers in the library of the University of Maine, he looked at it again, and (fortunately for King aficionados) sanctioned its publication. Clay Blaisdell is a hulking 6' 7'' petty criminal who encounters another lowlife with large ambitions: George Rackley has a fund of criminal schemes, but his Big Idea is to kidnap the children of rich parents and hold them to ransom. What ensues is shot through with the masterly orchestration of tension that is Stephen King's métier. If there are some undigested influences here (the two protagonists -- one massive and powerful, the other the brains of the duo -- owe more than a little to George and Lenny in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men), the personality that comes through (leaving aside the Richard Bachman nom-de-plume) is Stephen King, and followers of his work will need no persuasion to pick up this one. --Barry Forshaw |

Un tour sur le bolid'»rank: 24549par: Stephen King
Chroniques et points de vue: Amazon.fr: Et si vous deviez choisir entre votre vie et celle de votre mère ? Est-il seulement possible d'envisager une telle réponse ?

Persuadé qu'il n'arrivera jamais à temps pour la revoir une dernière fois, il se laisse emmener en stop par des personnages très étranges. On ne sait jamais quelle est la part entre rêve et réalité, raison et folie. Stephen King, maître incontesté de l'horreur, joue de la psychologie des personnages avec un savoir-faire bien rodé. On suffoque avec Alan, on tremble, on transpire et on aimerait bien descendre du bolid'... Publiée sur Internet au printemps 2000, cette nouvelle de Stephen King a connu un premier succès en version numérique.
