lazy0718 's review for:
Danse Macabre
by Stephen King
I had mixed reactions to this non-fiction book. As with all Stephen King books, I liked the writing style (King does an excellent job in making it feel like he's talking to you, rather than talking down to you). I also learned quite a lot about the horror genre from the period that King covers (1950-1980), a period that I had very limited knowledge.
However, I couldn't help but feel disappointed that there isn't an updated version, covering the last 3 decades. Everything here feels mostly outdated, though I now have a few more "must see" movies and books to add to my list. I also think King gets a bit too long-winded in a couple of sections, which made them tough to get through (I skimmed, more than read, the last chapter because of this).
Overall I was left wanting to read an updated version of the book, rather than the book itself.
