The pages practically turn themselves (USA TODAY) in Full Dark, No Stars, an unforgettable collection centered around the theme of retribution. I suggest a secondary, fun happy book to read between. I binged all of them in one go, and just felt awful when I was done. Its a great collection of stories, but damn are those stories dark. ![]() "Fair Extension," the book's most disturbing story, follows the relationship between a man and the best friend on whom he preternaturally shifts all his bad luck and misfortune.Īs in Different Seasons (1982), King takes a mostly nonfantastic approach to grim themes. Hi, I just picked up Full Dark No Stars and wondering if it was any good.The blurb on the back interested me and I wanted to know your opinions on it.

For many years, nobody connected author Anne Perry as the teen murderer, Juliet Hulme. It is said that they never saw each other again after being released. The girls were put on trial and each served five years in prison. They had planned on the strike killing her, but they had to strike her 20 times before she was dead. The three went for a walk in the park and Hulme dropped a stone, causing the mother to bend over to pick it up, and her friend hit her own mother on the head with a half brick.

Still this is a story of uprising in a caste system, so violent action is to be expected. The story is pretty dark and violent and that’s certainly an aspect of the one book that I read, but it’s not the only trait in the book, whereas it dominates the mood and tone in this graphic novel. Red is about as low as you can get, while Gold, of course, reigns supreme. ![]() For those not familiar with the series (and you might want to be before going in to this) there is a caste system in place with the different castes being identified by their color. In many ways this is a prequel to the series as it lays out the story of a ‘gold’ who has fallen in love and had a child with a ‘red’.
