Danse Macabre by Stephen King
5.0
King is such a force for good in our country, and a stalwart defender of free expression worldwide. It's pleasing to have him nearby, at arm's length, atop your bedside table preferably. Though a prior work written shortly after The Shining you can hear his latter-day, matured author's voice. One is in expert hands, here.
Offering salient, recurring themes in horror films and novels beginning in 1950 to about the mid-eighties (in this edition) he is relaxed, informative, and if you don't mind some of his tangents (and I didn't), trust me: everything becomes germane at the end of this study.
Outstanding book for readers and would-be horror writers, Danse Macabre lends King and the other so-called 'New American Gothic' writers a pedigree stemming back to late 18th - early 19th centuries British & German writers.
If you're a horror enthusiast, this work is a must-read.
BONUS: Danse Macabre comes with two appendixes featuring a filmography and bibliography.
