Tisto
Kultna Kingova grozljivka, po kateri je bila 2017 posneta istoimenska filmska uspešnica, končno v slovenščini!
Sedem najstnikov doživi grozljivo izkušnjo v domačem kraju Derry v ameriški zvezni državi Maine. Spopasti se morajo z nečim groznim, kar že stoletja ustrahuje in mori. Vsakih 27 let se zbudi in se hrani z ljudmi, najraje z otroki. Ko Georgie postane žrtev, se njegov brat Bill in šest njegovih prijateljev odloči, da bodo izsledili zlo. Skoraj trideset let kasneje se groza ponovi. Že odraslih sedem prijateljev se vrne, da bi enkrat za vselej obračunali s tistim. Kljub nevarnostim jih nazaj vleče takšna sila, da se ji ne morejo upreti: »Bill je verjel, da je vse pobila ista oseba ... če je sploh bila oseba. Včasih ni bil čisto prepričan.« Knjiga, ki je kljub obsegu bralec ne more odložiti, saj ga vleče in ne izpusti.

About the author
Stephen King
2,497 books886k followersStephen 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.

Branje te zgodbe ni bil mačji kašelj. Ne, to je bil pravi maraton z neprestanimi ovinki.
Prevod je razdeljen na dve posamezni knjigii, ki skupaj obsegata več kot 1300 strani. Precejšen zalogaj, torej.
Ne vem, koliko naj sploh napišem o zgodbi, ker je toliko likov in dogajanja, da je težko najti besede brez kvarnikov ali spoilerjev. V glavnem, dogajanje je postavljeno v mainsko mestece Derry, v katerem se na vsakih 27 let ponavlja cikel grozljivih umorov (po večini) otrok, za katerimi stoji nadnaravno bitje, ki spreminja videz glede na strahove. Skupina sedmih prijateljev (šest fantov in eno dekle) v srhljivih okoliščinah prežene to pošast, a igra še vedno ni bila končana. Ko postane jasno, da je Tisto preživelo, se skupina prijateljev znova zbere ob novem ciklu leta 1985, da bi končalo zlo, ki vse bolj zastruplja in požira mesto.
Tisto je srhljivo, mestoma kar malo razvlečeno branje z detajli, s fantastičnimi elementi nadnaravnega in z izbrušenimi liki, kar je tipično za Kinga. Ampak Tisto ni samo srhljivka, ampak je tudi kritika temne strani ameriške družbe, kot so rasizem, homofobija, hinavščina itd.
