Le vitrine du Bazar des Rêves ne serait-elle qu'un miroir déformant où chacun voit le reflet de sa propre folie ? Castle Rock à feu et à sang ! Gaunt peut être fier. Ses artifices ont payé. De son bric-à-brac, il lance de la poudre aux yeux, prince des illusions qui ne connait que l'arnaque et vend sa camelote au prix fort...
Si le Malin est capable de faire prendre des vessies pour des lanternes, il a pourtant un adversaire imprévisible en la personne du shérif, Alan Pangborn. Celui-ci a plus d'un tour dans son sac ! Fort de son talent de prestidigitateur, il possède un pouvoir insoupçonné qui renverse la ligne du destin.
Abracadabra ! Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus. En route pour le grand frisson, messire Gaunt !

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.

Оценката няма как да е различна от 5/5. Лийлънт Гонт е класен злодей, екшън и динамика има в изобилие.

Основните засегнати теми са за битката между доброто и зло, борбата да надвиеш собствената си гордост и опасна привързаност към "неизживени спомени" и "(не)необходими вещи"; да разбереш, че настоящето и бъдещето са много по-важни от миналото, за което няма какво да направиш.

Абе, не са много книгите, които да те държат буден до 4 и..., за да ги приключиш.

Започва колебливо и някак разсеяно, заплита се бавно и криволичи между житейските съдби на обикновени хора с прозаични мечти и щения, в чието ежедневие внезапно се появява господин Гонт с изкушаващата си колекция от "вълшебни" предмети. В един момент обаче книгата просто избухва и старателно изграденото тухла по тухла повествование се разгръща в стихийна въртележка, която помита всичко по пътя си, а времето инвестирано в огромната книга се изплаща с лихвите. Стряскащо истински роман за дребните вражди и желания, които могат да доведат до кървави последстия, ако изкусен и злонамерен кукловод дърпа невидимите въженца на скритите човешки копнежи... Белетристика на високо ниво, в която се преплитат философия, психология и крими, поръсени с фин свръхестетвен елемент... - наистина великолепно ястие от самия Крал на трилъра - Стивън Кинг...

„Странно нещо е разумът. Не усещаш, когато го загубиш, не чувстваш липсата му. Ала моментално разбираш, когато си го възстановиш, все едно че при теб доброволно се завръща рядка, екзотична птица.“

Si le premier tome était celui de la mise en place, la pose du détonateur en somme, ce deuxième est celui de l'explosion. Tout finit par s'imbriquer et on constate une fois de plus le talent de King quand il s'agit de créer des personnages si différents et pourtant si intéressants. Une très bonne lecture !

Анархията в тази книга определено те кара да забравиш да дишаш. Една от любимите ми книги на Кинг със сигурност
