A review by bookguyeric
Danse Macabre by Stephen King

5.0

A chummy King takes you aside and talks at length (and with many asides) about what makes horror good, what makes it work, why we read it (or watch it), and why writers create it. There’s even an updated section in the beginning where he updates his list of good (and bad) stuff. The update discusses mostly movies. I wish it had focussed more on novels and short stories.

There’s even a chapter on the late, great Harlan Ellsion!
