Danse Macabre by Stephen King

4.0

---

Here's an entry in the King canon that I'm guessing is less visited than his fiction works. It's a very entertaining discourse on horror in literature and film. King is completely charming when he writes non-fiction. He writes well of course but what is most appealing is he's an enthusiastic fan who is eager to share things that he loves, as anyone who reads his Entertainment Weekly column already knows. He also apparently is single-handedly responsible for nearly every reading of [b:The House Next Door|104217|The House Next Door|Anne Rivers Siddons|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171509777s/104217.jpg|2886217], a book he lists as one of the definitive haunted house novels, on Goodreads. I've read it too and wouldn't have without his suggestion. Don't miss this book just because it's non-fiction. It's a fun read.
