Danse Macabre by Stephen King
3.0

Stephen King meanders through entries in the horror genre in books, movies and television between the years 1950-1980. I’ve never been a huge fan of reading other people’s thoughts on books that I have not read. If I have read the book, that’s different and I enjoy the analysis. For that reason, this one was tough to get through.

I did add a few books to me “want to read” list. It was enjoyable reading King’s thoughts on these other words of art. Though it would be neat to get an updated version covering 1980-2020, but I doubt King will ever do that.

Overall, unless you’re a big fan of King or a big fan of horror, and preferably both, this is probably not for you. I give it three stars, more than a few of my least favorite King novels, mostly in recognition for what it is.
