內容簡介 一個旅人必經的採礦小鎮，為何一旦走進就再也無法順利離開…暢銷書作家史蒂芬金又一驚悚力作，深刻描繪人性、信仰與恐懼之間的糾葛華納兄弟影業改編為驚悚電影《史蒂芬金之絕望生機》「一如往常，史蒂芬金再度展現他最擅長的恐怖故事。」─《Entertainment Weekly》「超乎想像的恐怖與悲慘結合，讀者將與故事人物一同感受永無止盡的恐懼直到最後。」─《華盛頓郵報》內華達州一個名叫Desperation的採礦小鎮，唯一的執法人員是一位名叫Collie Entragian的警長，警長不知為何莫名發狂，開始攔阻所有經過小鎮的車輛，並用各種奇怪的藉口綁架這些無辜的旅人。小鎮壟罩在一種怪異的氛圍，警長Entragian的行為也越來越暴力，小鎮一切不尋常的變化其實都與礦坑有關，因為過度挖掘，意外釋放礦坑中的邪靈，這股邪惡的力量就像病毒般開始感染週遭。到底隱藏在小鎮礦坑的邪惡來自何方？小鎮又隱藏什麼巨大的恐怖和謎團？小鎮居民又該如何自救才能逃離警長的魔掌？A notice to those who feel that Stephen King has lost his magic touch: Desperation is the genuine goods. The ensemble cast of ordinary Americans thrown together by chance, including a disgruntled alcoholic writer and a child who is wise beyond his years, may be a bit too familiar. But the nearly deserted Nevada mining town with an enormous haunted mine pit and an abandoned movie theatre where the survivors hang out makes for a striking battleground, and the grisly action rarely flags. Best of all, though, are the characters of Tak, the ancient body-hopping evil who emerges from the mine, and of "God"--whom the New York Times describes as "the edgiest creation in Desperation. Remote, isolated, ironic, shrouded behind disguises, perhaps ‘another legendary shadow,' this deity forms a sly foil, and an icy mirror, to Tak." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
