惊险小说

When I tell people I write thrillers, I'm often asked,"So, you write stories like Tom Clancy?"

当我告诉别人我写的是惊险小说时，总是被问到，"那么，是汤姆克兰西那种吗？"

Try to imagine a blend of Grand Guignol thriller historical fiction, occasional farce, existential mystery and passionate love story; then double it.

。一本恐怖的惊险小说，历史小说，滑稽戏，关于人的存在的悬疑小说，充满激情的情爱小说。

The challenge is in the choice of the subjects: on a big canvas is often represented one big object, extrapolated from daily life as a newspaper, an airplane, a car… In different occasions art has helped simple objects to become "great". In this case the artist can accomplish this with a more personal touch, hinting mysteriousness, suspense typical of thrillers, as in the portrayal of a broken ATM screen, of a watch abandoned on the grass or of a cutter with traces of blood.

画布上往往呈现一个大的物体，它通常来自日常生活中，如一张报纸，一架飞机或一辆汽车……艺术可以使简单东西变得很奇妙，而这里，艺术家以更个性的方法，有时甚至是神秘的暗示，一个悬念，有如惊险小说中一样，比如取款机打碎的屏幕，被丢弃在草地中的手表以及带有血迹的刀。

In this nail biting doomsday thriller, celebrated author dean koontz tells the story of a community cut off from the outside while the entire world is under siege by a malicious alien force.

在这部扣人心弦的末日论惊险小说中，著名作家迪恩·孔兹讲述的故事是关于一个社区在全世界都受到外星邪恶势力的围攻之时，却与外部世界失去了联系。

From its breathtaking opening scene to its shocking climax, The Darkest Evening of the Year is Dean Koontz at his finest, a transcendent thriller certain to have readers turning pages until dawn.

从惊险的开头一直到让人惊叹的高潮，The Darkest Evening of the Year是一本会让读者爱不释手的优秀惊险小说。

Koontz has himself another bestseller in this pulse-pounding thriller with echoes of Hitchcock and Cornell Woolrich. One morning, Southern California gardener Mitchell Rafferty gets a call on his cellphone from a stranger saying that Mitch's beloved wife, Holly, has been kidnapped and that he has less than three days to come up with $2 million in cash.

这本让人心惊肉跳的惊险小说带有希区柯克和科内尔·伍尔里奇的影子，令库恩兹再添一部畅销之作：某天早晨，南加州园艺工人米切尔·拉弗提接到了一个陌生人的手机来电，声称米切尔的爱妻赫莉已遭绑架而他要在不到三天的时间里拿出200万美元现金。

Some critics see him as a writer of"penny dreadful"whose book do"little more for humanity than keep the publishing industry afloat", while others regard him as the"king of horror fiction"whose writing is securely rooted in the great American tradition and contains profound moral truths---some beautiful, some harrowing---about our inner lives, which open up a new trend of the modern horror fiction.

一些评论家认为他的作品廉价惊险小说，不登大雅之堂，充其量也就是刺激了出版业的繁荣；而另一些评论家则将其视为"恐怖小说之王"，认为他的作品继承了美国文学重情节和气氛的伟大传统，体现出人类灵魂深处种种美丽和悲惨的道德真相，为类型小说创作开辟了一个崭新的天地。

He is the stereotyped monster of the horror films and the adventure books, and an obvious though

它们是恐怖电影和惊险小说中的老一套的怪物，并且与我们的祖先有着明显的联系。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
