Uncle Stephen explains what makes horror tick. So to speak. With extensive reference to a catalogue of movies, novels and TV shows you may never have heard of, or may be an expert on.

 Grundsätzlich finde ich es nicht uninteressant, allerdings schreibt er über Filme und Radioshows, die ich (schon aufgrund meines Alters) nicht kenne - und die mir auch egal sind.
Dieses Buch ist also vielleicht nicht für mich. DNF bei ca. 33%"

I loved this more analytic (but still humorous, friendly, & sassy) side of King. It was interesting to see his views on the mechanics and purposes of the horror genre, and I'll definitely carry a dog-eared copy of this along with me into grad school. At times, the book dragged; I found myself skimming both for that reason and to avoid spoilers to books/films he recommended. I also felt the TV section was a bit outdated (but hey, this was written in 1980).

An enjoyable ride through the landscape of the horror genre from 1950 to 1980.
