Bayang-bayang Temaram [Night Shift] jilid 1

Stephen King telah menyuguhkan sembila belas tulisan pendeknya yang paling mengejutkan - kisah-kisah aneh dan ganjil mengenai perbuatan-perbuatan najis dari kawasan temaram dunia horor dan kengerian berwujud mengerikan dan menakutkan...Dimana suara-suara dalam dinding dan bayang-bayang di tempat tidur selalu merupakan pertanda bahwa ada sesuatu yang menyeramkan sedang mencari mangsa.

Tempat-tempat kejadian itu sangat akrab dengan kita semua dan tidak terduga - sekolah menengah, sebuah pabrik, pemberhentian truk, di tempat benara, ladang jagung di Nebraska.

Tetapi dalam dunia Stephen King setiap tempat bisa merupakan tempat bermain bagi iblis...pada waktu yang tepat di malam hari dan pada saat daya kegelapan sedang kuat, para korban disergap justru pada saat mereka kurang hati-hati

WAPADALAH!

Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.

Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.

He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.

Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.

In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.
