This so could happen.

It is not an impossible scenario. There are various circumstances and events that might lead to it.

Maybe it's due to a series of coincidences or a particular set of conditions.

It could be a result of human actions, decisions, or even external factors beyond our control.

We can't simply dismiss the possibility.

It's important to consider all the potentialities and be prepared for different outcomes.

This so could happen, and we need to be ready to face it when it does.

Whether it brings challenges or opportunities, we should approach it with an open mind and a willingness to adapt.

Only then can we navigate through such situations and make the best of what comes our way.

Este libro pasa con pena y sin gloria al fondo de mi librero.

I spent on it believing that it would be something very interesting since it didn't sound familiar to me at all. It was Stephen King and with a hardcover edition by Nórdica, the book was very expensive and it's not worth a penny of my money because of the story.

Regarding the introduction or synopsis, the good Fany said that he was walking on the street and saw through a window of a restaurant a couple who were surely getting divorced and the waiter leading them to their table who gave a bit of an insolent wink to Fany, and that's it, that inspired him and in three days he achieved his task regarding this book. And I suppose that you too can create something with what I commented above and it will result in the same simple story....

Seriously, 0 recommended... give me my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only star goes for the illustrations and the good edition :).

The original article may not be the greatest.

It might have some flaws or areas that could be improved.

Perhaps the content could be more in-depth or the presentation could be enhanced.

However, that doesn't mean it's completely without value.

There could still be some interesting points or ideas within it.

Maybe with a bit of refinement and additional research, it could be transformed into something better.

We should not simply dismiss it as not being the greatest, but rather look for ways to build on its strengths and address its weaknesses.

This way, we can help to improve the overall quality of the work and make it more worthy of recognition.

After all, even the greatest works often start from humble beginnings and are refined over time.

So, let's not be too quick to judge and instead give the article a chance to grow and develop.

With a little effort and attention, it could potentially become something truly remarkable.

A star for the shoddy commercial operation regarding a story that has already been published and thus, for all the fans of the King, already read. The whole thing with minimal visibility, only for attentive readers (and I'm not in that category). Fortunately, I didn't remember it and so, for the story and the illustrations, ⭐⭐⭐.

For the King, God save him, always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ !!!

This review seems to be expressing dissatisfaction with a particular commercial venture related to a previously published story. The lack of proper visibility for this work is a point of concern, as it limits its reach to only the most observant readers. However, the reviewer still manages to find some merit in the story and illustrations, awarding them three stars. On the other hand, the King is highly regarded, receiving a perfect five-star rating. Overall, it's a mixed assessment that highlights both the shortcomings and the redeeming qualities of the situation.

This is a fairly good story that manages to pack in a good amount of horror.

To be honest, it is a little bit predictable. However, what makes it truly stand out are the grotesque imagery and the vivid descriptions of the desperate situation.

The author has a talent for painting a picture that is both disturbing and captivating. The use of such detailed and vivid language allows the reader to truly immerse themselves in the story and experience the horror along with the characters.

Despite its predictability, this story is definitely worth reading for anyone who enjoys a good horror tale. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you with a sense of unease long after you have finished reading.

Overall, it is a well-written and engaging story that I would recommend to others.

On an ordinary day like any other, Steve Davis arrives home only to find a note from his wife asking for a divorce. After two years of marriage, on the very day Diane disappears from his life, Steve decides that it's a good time to quit smoking.

During the time they are separated, Steve reflects on the past few months. Lately, they had argued and his way of handling things reveals a somewhat repulsive character, yet nothing explains why Diane feels anger, fear, and resentment. She wants nothing to do with him. The only thing that keeps them in contact is a divorce lawyer, who summons Steve to the Café Gotham.

The lunch for three is a sinister and visceral tale, but the newly divorced couple couldn't care less about me and the outburst of violence isn't macabre enough to recommend it even for a bad time. All of them have a degree of madness and surrealism. They are characters who blur under jets of blood and add nothing to a plot that lacks meaning.

I have appreciated an unexpected point of black humor, but the tension of the attack lasts too long, the last few pages become tedious, and the ending is hollow. Curiously, I have been more entertained by the introduction of some characters who are unlikable, unpleasant, and have little development.

The illustrations of Javier Olivares perfectly reflect every little detail. They have the darkness and tone that the story exactly required. Marvelous.

\\n  “In The Deathroom” \\n represents a significant departure from the typical Stephen King narratives.

Unlike his usual works, there is no supernatural element present, and it can't be strictly classified as a horror story. The entire plot unfolds almost entirely within a single room: a stereotypical interrogation chamber located deep within an unnamed Latin American country.

Fletcher, an American reporter, has been captured and now finds himself at the mercy of a sadistic team of interrogators, facing the prospect of torture.

In an explanatory note accompanying the story, Stephen King reveals, \\"This is a slightly Kafka-esque story about an interrogation room in the South American version of Hell. In such stories, the fellow being interrogated usually ends up spilling everything and then being killed (or losing his mind.) I wanted to write one with a happier ending, however unreal that might be. And here it is.\\"

The question of whether the story truly has a happy ending (as it remains open to interpretation) and whether Fletcher actually survives will keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout the entire narrative.

What is most fascinating, though, is the vivid depiction of the mind games that unfold between the interrogators and Fletcher. It's a game of mental chess, with Fletcher skillfully tricking his captors into believing his lies, while the interrogators employ promises, threats, and pain in an attempt to break Fletcher's resistance.

Overall, this is a powerful story, although it concludes with a slightly weak (and rather gruesome) ending. Nevertheless, if you expect the unexpected, you won't be disappointed.

Simpatico is a wonderful and charming quality. It implies a certain compatibility and likability that makes people naturally drawn to each other. When two people are simpatico, they seem to have an unspoken understanding, a connection that goes beyond words.

It's that special feeling when you meet someone and immediately feel at ease, as if you've known them for a long time. Simpatico relationships can bring joy, support, and a sense of belonging.

Whether it's in friendships, romantic partnerships, or even in professional settings, being simpatico can enhance the quality of our interactions and make life more fulfilling. It allows for smooth communication, shared interests, and a mutual respect that enriches the experience of being together.

In a world where connections are so important, simpatico is a valuable trait that can lead to meaningful and lasting relationships.

The original text seems a bit unclear. It might be something like "2.5 stars for the story
4 stars for the editing, including the illustrations."

Here is the expanded and rewritten version:

The story received a rating of 2.5 stars. It had its moments, but perhaps lacked a certain depth or excitement to fully engage the readers. However, when it comes to the editing, it was truly remarkable and deserved a 4-star rating. The attention to detail in the grammar, punctuation, and overall flow of the text was evident. Additionally, the illustrations added a whole new dimension to the piece. They were vivid, colorful, and perfectly complemented the story, enhancing the readers' experience and bringing the characters and scenes to life.

Most of us do what we do solely to prolong a moment of pleasure or stop the pain. And even when we act for the noblest of reasons, the last link in the chain is all too often stained with someone's blood.

This story is found in the anthology of “Everything's Eventual”, a collection of stories that I hold dear. Practically, it was the first thing I read of Stephen King, and I haven't forgotten this story in the years following the reading, among other stories, such as the one about the morgue where a man, poisoned by a snake, becomes paralyzed and is pronounced dead, or the one about the child who comes face to face with the devil.

I have loved returning to this story after many years, a story that has not left my mind and is magnificently illustrated. One of the most King-style tales, a terrifying madness.

It makes you think about the true nature of our actions and the consequences that may follow. King has a unique way of delving into the human psyche and uncovering the dark secrets that lie within. This story is no exception, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

Whether you are a fan of horror or just looking for a good read, “Everything's Eventual” is definitely worth checking out. It is a collection of stories that will stay with you long after you have finished reading.

Bastante rápido y con imágenes muy interesantes, creo que las ilustraciones le dan el levantón al libro y pasa a ser dinámico. Estas ilustraciones no solo agregan un elemento visual atractivo, sino que también ayudan a dar vida a la historia.

Tiene escenas fuera de lo normal, y no puedo negar que a veces un poco de humor. La manera en que se desarrolla el inicio puede ser un poco lento pero no es largo. Y después... el pandemonio que se suelta. Esta transición brusca crea una tensión y un interés que mantiene al lector enganchado.

No me imagino una situación así, aquí vemos Stephen King y sus ideas locas que dan como resultado un relato cómico-sangriento. King es conocido por su capacidad para crear mundos extraños y aterradores, y en este libro no es la excepción. Sin embargo, el toque de humor que añade le da un carácter único y lo hace aún más atractivo.

"Lunch in Gotham Café" is a short story that is nearly seventy pages long and was first published in Germany in the short story collection "In the Cabinet of Death". Since I have read all the short stories in the "Story Selection" of Stephen King so far, this one also had to land on my reader. And I must say that Stephen King was able to fascinate me once again.

The author indeed cannot avoid adding some unnecessary length to the story from time to time. However, this did not bother me because "Lunch in Gotham Café" reads so well despite that. The tension arc was once again enormous, the characters were perfectly drawn, and otherwise, I read the story much too quickly again because it wouldn't let go of me.

Here, it's about Steven, who was completely unexpectedly left by his wife Diane. Since she has broken off all attempts at contact so far, he is left with only a meeting via the divorce lawyer, which Steven only allows to happen to see her again at last. That this meeting in the Gotham Café, however, ends fatally for one of the participants, probably none of them would have expected.

Although the story is rather short, one gets to know Steven well during this time. He loves Diane above all else and can hardly understand the separation and thus cannot process it either. In his desperation, he even gives up smoking because he hopes that Diane might come back to him because of it. Diane, on the other hand, is rejecting, cold, and anything but sympathetic. To be honest, I didn't understand why he was so hung up on her.

Steven probably has to ask himself this question during the story as well because suddenly it's no longer just about a disappointed love, but rather about pure survival, and at the same time, his eyes are opened because suddenly a shooting spree also plays an important role here.

The cover is not particularly appealing and only contains the name of the author and the title. The short description, on the other hand, directly appealed to me because it reads so mysteriously that I immediately wanted to find out what it was all about.

In short: With "Lunch in Gotham Café", Stephen King has once again managed a thrilling and eventful short story in which it's not only about an unhappy love but also about pure survival. An absolute must for fans and also very suitable for King newcomers.
