Publisher's Summary

It was not long after Halloween when Stephen King received a telephone call from his editor. 'Why don't you do a book about the entire horror phenomenon as you see it? Books, movies, radio, TV, the whole thing.' The result is this unique combination of fantasy and autobiography, of classic horror writing honed to an unforgettable edge by the best-selling master of the genre.

Danse Macabre ranges across the whole spectrum of horror in popular culture, from the seminal classics of Dracula and Frankenstein. It is a charming and fascinating book, replete with pertinent anecdotes and observations, in which Stephen King describes his ideas on how horror works on many levels and how he brings it to bear on his own inimitable novels.

There is a reason why Stephen King is one of the best-selling writers in the world - ever.

Stephen King's skill as a critic is shown

I liked this book, i did find a lot of the titles he writes about has gone out of the pop culture lexicon. Stephen King is an all time great writer and he's a great critic as well. I liked the book, it's by no means a must read/listen. Yet if you are interested in Stephen's take is on a lot of horror movies and novels, consider this as a companion piece.
