A wonderful collection of short stories written magistrales.Une intelligence and inventiveness, drawing from psychological descriptions of treasures as only King knows how. Each new is a delicate gem, originality, and especially the discovery of another "King": indeed, in the afterword collection, Stephen King returns to the composition of the four seasons and the time of their writing; each was written at the end of a great novel, early in his already brilliant career with Carrie, Christine, Cujo ... His publisher wanted terror, blood ... King offered him a gift of another such as you have never read this author: news that move away from the fantasy genre or horror, that tell with great talent of "realities" amazing: that the escapee of a kind of "Alcatraz", the Shawshank Prison (adapted to film from the great movie "The Shawshank Redemption" ultra Oscar winner), that of a monstrous child in the soul that feeds on the perversions of a former Nazi even all her relatives see it as a small American model, that of a group of young teenagers to families torn and violent, who gather around an aborted journey but find after some truth (just as in the wonderful movie "Stand by me"), that of a beautiful woman ahead of her time who will give birth to a baby in rather unusual conditions ("The breathing method" is the four new one that is closest to the kind of favorite King, with the icing on the cake, a good dose of humor!). I expected to read horrific news ... well no, I came across a baroque object in the first sense, unexpected and exhilarating, a real treat reading, a revelation.
