You Like It Darker
by Stephen King
传奇故事家、短篇小说大师斯蒂芬·金的新作，收录了他的12篇短篇小说，其中许多从未出版过，是他有史以来最好的作品。
斯蒂芬·金在这本宏伟的新小说集的后记中写道：“听说你喜欢更黑暗的？好吧，我也喜欢。”
这本小说集收录了12篇故事，深入探讨了生活中黑暗的部分——无论是隐喻还是文字。半个世纪以来，斯蒂芬·金一直是小说创作的大师，而这些关于命运、死亡、运气以及现实中任何事情都可能发生的褶皱的故事，就像他的小说一样丰富而引人入胜，既有沉重的主题，又有阅读的巨大乐趣。在《你喜欢更黑暗》中，读者也会一次又一次地感受到这种兴奋。
《两个天才兽人》探寻了同名绅士如何获得他们的技能这一隐藏已久的秘密。
在《丹尼·考富林的恶梦》中，短暂而前所未有的灵光一闪颠覆了数十人的生活，其中丹尼的生活最为悲惨。
在《响尾蛇》（《Cujo》的续集）中，一个悲痛欲绝的鳏夫前往佛罗里达寻求喘息，却意外地得到了一笔遗产——附带着重要的条件。
在《追梦人》中，一位沉默寡言的越战老兵应聘到一份工作，并了解到宇宙中有些角落最好不要去探索。
《答案人》提出了一个问题：先知先觉是好运还是厄运，并提醒我们，被难以承受的悲剧所烙印的人生仍然可以是有意义的。
金的能力是无与伦比的，他能给我们带来惊喜和惊奇，给我们带来恐惧和慰藉。每一个故事都蕴含着自己的惊险、欢乐和奥秘；每一个故事都给人一种标志性的感觉。
你喜欢更黑暗的故事吗？没问题。
From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary new collection of twelve short stories, many never-before-published, and some of his best EVER.”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 ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.
