Esa es la palabra que Danny había visto en el espejo. Y, aunque no sabía leer, entendió que era un mensaje de horror.Danny tenía cinco años, y a esa edad poco niños saben que los espejos invierten las imágenes y menos aún saben diferenciar entre realidad y fantasía. Pero Danny tenía pruebas de que sus fantasías relacionadas con el resplandor del espejo acabarían cumpliendose: REDRUM... MURDER, asesinato.
Readers adore Stephen Kings novels, and his novellas are their own dark treat, briefer but just as impactful and enduring as his longer fiction. Many of his novellas have been made into iconic films, including The Body (Stand By Me) and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (Shawshank Redemption).Four brilliant new tales in If It Bleeds are sure to prove as iconic as their predecessors. Once again, Kings remarkable range is on full display. In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney (from the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider) must face her fears, and possibly another outsiderthis time on her own. In Mr. Harrigans Phone an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife. The Life of Chuck explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in Rat, a struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition.

Una vez más, Stephen King nos ofrece atmósferas sobrecogedoras y emociones incontrolables a traves de los relatos reunidos en este libro.Ya nadie disputa a Stephen King el primer puesto en la literatura de terror: sus muchos millones de lectores son prueba fehaciente de ello. Su brillante imaginación revela las sombras que subyacen en lo evidente y hace que todos nos sintamos menos seguros de la realidad."La expedición", que da título a este volumen de escalofriantes cuentos, advierte angustiosamente contra los riesgos de la curiosidad; la anciana de la "Abuela" quizá no sea la compañía adecuada para un niño cuando este queda aislado en una casa distante; el protagonista de "Superviviente" no tiene nada que comer, excepto...; y la locura está agazapada en la máquina de escribir del redactor de "La balada del proyectil flexible"...
