Danse Macabre

From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as seen through the eyes of the genre’s most popular writer. In 1981, years before writing On Writing, Stephen King decided to explore what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. In ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that define the horror genre—from Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers.
