Resumen del Editor

Each of these five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999, are deeply rooted in the 60s culture and the haunting images of the Vietnam War. "Low Men in Yellow Coats" is the story of 11-year-old Bobby Garfield who discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. Bobby also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror. In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game when they discover the possibility of protest. In "Blind Willy" and "Why We're in Vietnam," two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow - and haunted - as their own lives. And in "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling," this remarkable work's denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"We now know what Stephen King, the master of horror, is afraid of. The Vietnam War...scares him so bad he won't let his hero act imprudently." (The New York Times)
"...Hurt skillfully evokes pathos from the story's fine detailing...." (Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: We All Quote Down Here—50+ of the Best Stephen King Quotes


It is King's versatility, his skills as a writer, and his ability to tap into our fears that makes Uncle Stevie so eminently quotable. Even though King writes mainly terrifying books, his works are also full of wisdom, heart, humor, and compassion. He can be scaring your pants off one minute, and really making you think about humankind the next. Here are the best quotes from the master of the macabre: Stephen King.

Another one that took my heart.

Thank you Stephen King. I've always loved you and your stories, yet this one truly took me.

Intriguing first half...

The first half was leading somewhere big and then the second half let the wind out of the sails and went the wrong direction.

Good reading by Hurt and King.

William Hurt and Stephen King as narrators...Wow.

Loved it, on so many levels...heart-rending, beautiful truths...a look into the darkest, most hopeful, parts of mankind.

music

The inclusion of the obnoxiously loud music at the beginning and end of the chapters really detracted from the experience.

Excellent

I had just finished listening to “The Dark Tower” series and after hearing “Insomnia” and “Heats in Atlantis” mentioned I knew i had to continue to follow another path of “The Beam”. I must confess that when the narration started i just wasn’t sure that this was going to work. Somewhere in there a switch flipped and I became a believer.

Emotional thought provoking masterpiece

A thought provoking masterpiece that builds characters and events, and spins them into tapestry that reminds you how powerful emotions can be.

stop with the music!

I wish the people who make these decisions would realize the music they edit into the reading just breaks the immersion. I HATE IT!

King and Hurt are an amazing team

William Hurt's performance was awe inspiring. King was meandering across lifetimes, bridging stories together in that special way he's gotten so good at (we all serve the Beam)... and Hurt put you right in the middle of the action and made us feel every emotion King intended. Bravo!
