Ci sono diversi modi di dire, quando si parla di notizie, e sono tutti leggendari: «Sbatti il mostro in prima pagina», «Fa più notizia Uomo morde cane che Cane morde uomo» e naturalmente «Se scorre il sangue, si vende». Nel racconto di King che dà il titolo a questa raccolta, è una bomba alla Albert Macready Middle School a garantire i titoli cubitali delle prime pagine e le cruente immagini di apertura dei telegiornali. Tra i milioni di spettatori inorriditi davanti allo schermo, però, ce n'è una che coglie una nota stonata. Holly Gibney, l'investigatrice che ha già avuto esperienze ai confini della realtà con Mr Mercedes e con l'Outsider, osserva la scena del crimine e si rende conto che qualcosa non va, che il primo inviato sul luogo della strage ha qualcosa di sbagliato.

Review of 'If It Bleeds' on 'Goodreads'

I've been undecided whether to bother leaving a review or not. It's not like Stephen King needs my input or opinion to boost his book sales. I will just say I enjoyed the first story the most because I like coming of age tales with a spooky twist. The last story didn't do it for me at all. Stories of writers striking deals with...whatever in order to write a great book have kind of played out and been done to death. The second and third stories were just ok. If I rated the 4 stories in order of appearance it would be 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars and 2 stars. For me the stories grew progressively worse. If I add that up and divide it by 4 stories I would rate the book at 3.5 stars.

Review of 'If It Bleeds' on 'Goodreads'

Ich hab schon schlechtere von ihm gelesen, ich hab schon bessere von ihm gelesen. Ärgerlich fand ich hier vor allem die doch überraschend große Menge an "Dein Vater, der wohlhabende Kommerzienrat, dessen – wie du weißt – einzige Tochter du bist"-Dialogen, in denen Leute einander Dinge erklären, die sie längst wissen. Ich glaube, das war bei King früher nicht so. Vielleicht wird er alt, oder sein Lektorat schlechter.
