媒体评论

“斯蒂芬·金的再做了它。spellbinder,强迫性引人入胜。”

——亚特兰大日报

“哈…出色的。”

——达拉斯时代先驱

“詹姆斯·摩根指南》、《人鬼情未了哥特式恐怖和作家,加里Westfahl预测,“王的地方已经赢得了自己在文学的历史....最起码,他会喜欢现代的地位安东尼·特罗洛普作者、人们对他的声望和社会评论....更有可能的是,他将被作为查尔斯·狄更斯的20th世纪后期,作家,完美体现,封装,并表示关注他的时代特点。

如果国王的小说描写技巧,在表明了他的关注他的一代,这是死区(1979)。虽然它包含一个可怕的大约一位连环杀手,它不是一次严格的恐怖小说。这是一个谦逊的故事高中老师,一个普通人,遭受一个缺口,就像一个黑人瑞普·凡·温克尔的人在1970年至75年——而变得锐利的意识到美国社会的方式是瞬息万变。他醒来时和他的大脑的一个缺口,“死区”的称号。园区给他严重头痛,但同时也给予他第二视力,一个天才他不想和不愿意使用。问题的关键在于他是否会使用小说关注,才能改变历史的进程。

的死区是紧、精雕细刻的书。当被问到他的小说在1983年,到目前为止是“最好的”,斯蒂芬·金说:“我认为工作最好是死区。这是一个有最多的故事。”

原文

"Stephen King has done it again. A spellbinder, a compulsive page-turner."

--Atlanta Journal

"Enthralling...superb."

--Dallas Times Herald

"In the St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers, Gary Westfahl predicts that "King has already earned himself a place in the history of literature.... At the very least, he will enjoy the status of a latter-day Anthony Trollope, an author respected for his popularity and social commentary.... More likely, he will be enshrined as the Charles Dickens of the late 20th century, the writer who perfectly reflected, encapsulated, and expressed the characteristic concerns of his era.

If any of King's novels exemplifies his skill at portraying the concerns of his generation, it's The Dead Zone (1979). Although it contains a horrific subplot about a serial killer, it isn't strictly a horror novel. It's the story of an unassuming high school teacher, an Everyman, who suffers a gap in time--like a Rip Van Winkle who blacks out during the years 1970-75--and thus becomes acutely conscious of the way that American society is rapidly changing. He wakes up as well with a gap in his brain, the "dead zone" of the title. The zone gives him crippling headaches, but also grants him second sight, a talent he doesn't want and is reluctant to use. The crux of the novel concerns whether he will use that talent to alter the course of history.

The Dead Zone is a tight, well-crafted book. When asked in 1983 which of his novels so far was "the best," Stephen King answered, "The one that I think works the best is Dead Zone. It's the one that has the most story."
