Caroline Kepnes Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Diese Anthologie enthält 34 brandneue Kurzgeschichten, die auf Stephen Kings Meisterwerk basieren. Seit seiner Erstveröffentlichung 1978 gilt es als bahnbrechendes Werk der apokalyptischen Fiktion und hat Generationen von Schriftstellern beeinflusst. Mit Millionen verkaufter Exemplare und zwei TV-Adaptionen hat der Kultroman die Erkundung des Zerfalls der menschlichen Gesellschaft geprägt. Kings beeindruckende Charaktervielfalt und die düstere, aber hoffnungsvolle Vision vom Ende und Neubeginn unserer Zivilisation sind einzigartig. Zum ersten Mal hat King offiziell eine Rückkehr in diese erschütternde Welt autorisiert, präsentiert von Christopher Golden und Brian Keene. Die Geschichten spielen während und nach den Ereignissen des Romans und bieten brillante, furchterregende und zutiefst menschliche Erzählungen. Diese Sammlung wird zum unverzichtbaren Begleiter des klassischen Bestsellers. Die Anthologie enthält eine Einleitung von King, ein Vorwort von Golden und ein Nachwort von Keene. Zu den Autoren zählen namhafte Schriftsteller wie Wayne Brady, Poppy Z. Brite, Tananarive Due, Michael Koryta und viele mehr, die mit ihren einzigartigen Perspektiven zur Vielfalt und Tiefe dieser Sammlung beitragen.

Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he's writing them. And he's off to a good start. Glenn Shoddy, an acclaimed literary author, recognizes Joe's genius and invites him to join a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard. Finally, Joe will be in a place where talent matters more than pedigree . . . where intellect is the great equalizer and anything is possible. Even happy endings. Or so he thinks, until he meets his already-published, already-distinguished peers, who all seem to be cut from the same elitist cloth. Thankfully, Wonder enters the picture. They have so much in common. No college degrees, no pretensions, no stories from prep school or grad school. Just a love for literature. If only Wonder could commit herself to the writing life they could be those rare literary soulmates who never fall prey to their demons. Wonder has a tendency to love, to covet, but Joe is a believer in the rule of fiction: If you want to write a book, you have to kill your darlings.With her trademark satirical, biting wit, Caroline Kepnes explores why vulnerable people bring out the worst in others as Joe sets out to make this small, exclusive world a fairer place. And if a little crimson runs in the streets of Cambridge . . . who can blame him? Love doesn’t conquer all. Often, it needs a little push.

Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe. He gets a job at the local library - he does know a thing or two about books - and that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town. The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy. True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him
