acrosstickx 's review for:
Danse Macabre
by Stephen King
Like all of King's books, this could have been at least 100 pages shorter without losing a thing. That said, it was a reasonably interesting and insightful survey of horror as a genre. This book was at its best when it was peeling back the curtain on just what parts of the human condition make scary things scary.
I would recommend it to aspiring horror writers or any students of the genre if you don't mind a little...erm...outdated language. Definitely a product of its time in terms of some of King's underlying viewpoints. But a decent analysis if you are willing to look past that.
