內容簡介
內容簡介 黑暗至極的恐怖故事。一本精心構思的書，展開了一幅宏大的畫面。透過緬因州男孩Jamie的人生呈現美國60年代的片段，故事從他六歲在沙堆上玩著士兵玩具，一位從事傳道與奇蹟電療術的牧師來到他身邊，提出電比上帝還要偉大的言論；從此Jamie一家與牧師產生亦分亦和的關係……書中人物不多，開頭把一個人的一生比作電影，主角是家人與朋友；配角是鄰居和熟人；經歷過的人是龍套。但也會有出其不意的情節，打破所有規則。《復活》的結尾提出，要做人類，你必須知道非人是什麼樣的，也要知道，恐怖與平凡的生活之間只有一線之隔。以前讀史蒂芬金的作品，驚懼、毛骨悚然；隨著他的年歲增長，作品依舊讀來讓人驚悚，不一樣的是，這種驚悚來自日常生活的經驗，來自意外的無法預料，更加形而上、更加普遍的恐怖，彷彿怎樣也避免不了──這才是頂級的恐怖。Stephen King presents “a fresh adrenaline rush of terror” (People) in this electrifying #1 New York Times bestseller!The new minister came to Harlow, Maine, when Jamie Morton was a boy doing battle with his toy army men on the front lawn.

Now Jamie, a nomadic rock guitarist hooked on heroin, meets Charles Jacobs again. And when their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, Jamie discovers that the word revival has many meanings….
