A review by deephi
Danse Macabre by Stephen King

5.0

As one of those students in the class so mentioned in the book, I can attest to the worth of the material covered. King examines the seminal works of horror and gives numerous examples of books, television shows, and movies that use horror. He explores what it means to him, and to the world at large. He details different horror archetypes and what they mean. He covers writers whose works you should know.
This is a book that gives a thorough answer to those who ask "Why does he write that stuff?"
