I could spend this little blurb drooling over his knowledge, experience and abilities, but I will restrain myself. I read this book many years ago, and well before I was ready to. At the time, some of the information was well over my head and I didn't have the perspective to really understand what the hell he was talking about through much of it. As an adult, this makes much more sense and I'm better able to appreciate what he's saying about the state of horror both in film and in the written word. This is almost a horror primer for those who love it, want to know more about it and need a roadmap to guide them through the best and the worst (at least through a certain point, since it is a little old now). For someone just discovering horror through more modern tales/films and wanting to learn the roots, or for someone who just wants to see what made The Man who he is as a writer, this is a great place to start looking.

One of my favorite King books. It's a joy to read for any fantasy/horror fan and reveals just how deeply read and intelligent Stephen really is. Between this and "On Writing," I really wish he'd write and publish more essays and non-fiction.
