(  ) ReadersLair | Dec 7, 2009 |  His worst short story collection, but he still gets a 3 out of 5. Some stories are average, and some are exceptional. That's the nature of Mr. King. Great, or mediocre... (  ) Anagarika | Oct 30, 2009 | An uneven collection of King short stories, still well worth reading. ( ) sturlington | Sep 19, 2009 | One of my favourite short story compilations. "Take my hand. Hold on tight, and believe" Dolan's Cadillac, Popsy, Chattery Teeth... ( ) skinglist | Jan 11, 2009 | Here's another enjoyable collection from Stephen King. I prefer his short fiction over his longer works, and this book was a worthwhile read for me. Though some stories weren't quite to my taste, several stood out for me: "The House on Maple Street," "Sneakers,""The Night Flier," "Popsy" and "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band" was fascinating but quite frightening. My favorite in the collection has to be "Sorry, Right Number," which was both eerie and heartbreaking. (  ) thioviolight | Dec 2, 2008 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
These fine stories, each written in what King calls "a burst of faith, happiness, and optimism," prove his point. The theme, mood, characters, and language vary, but throughout, a sense of story reigns supreme. Nightmares & Dreamscapes contains 20 short tales--including several never before published--plus one teleplay, one poem, and one nonfiction piece about kids and baseball that appeared in the New Yorker. The subjects include vampires, zombies, an evil toy, man-eating frogs, the burial of a Cadillac, a disembodied finger, and a wicked stepfather. The style ranges from King's well-honed horror to a Ray Bradbury-like fantasy voice to an ambitious pastiche of Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald. And like a compact disc with a bonus track, the book ends with a charming little tale not listed in the table of contents--a parable called "The Beggar and the Diamond." --Fiona Webster
