King, Stephen
Long before he gave us "a one-of-a-kind classic" ( The Wall Street Journal ) with his bestselling memoir On Writing , Stephen King crafted a nonfiction masterpiece in Danse Macabre , "one of the best books on American popular culture" ( Philadelphia Inquirer ). The author whose boundless imagination and storytelling powers have redefined the horror genre, from 1974's Carrie to his new epic Under the Dome , reflects on the very nature of terror -- what scares us and why -- in films (both cheesy and choice), television and radio, and, of course, the horror novel, past and present. Informal, engaging, tremendous fun, and tremendously informative, Danse Macabre is an essential tour with the master of horror as your guide; much like his spellbinding works of fiction, you won't be able to put it down.
