kluet 's review for:
Danse Macabre
by Stephen King
This book really was a mixed bag. First of all this book is non-fiction which already makes it a much harder read for me since there is no real story to follow. I saw it more as a sort of textbook meant for teaching a class about the Horror genre from 1950-1980 within American culture. The book goes below and above that timespan aswell but stays mostly within these lines.
The subjects range from horror movies, TV shows, novels, radio shows and so on. These were sometimes interesting to learn about and other times it was a chore to get through.
The best parts however in this book for me were the little snippets of information that King gave about his own life and childhood. These little gems made, at least to me, the book worth reading through.
This non-fiction book was a challenge for me to read but a challenge i accepted wholeheartedly. And in the end, i'm glad i finished it. Would i recommend it? That depends, if you like the Horror genre and want Kings' view on the subject, then yes. If you don't, then i wouldn't really bother.
