Danse macabre
by Stephen King
I really thought that reading a whole book that was centered on Stephen King’s musings about the horror genre was going to be just what I’ve always wanted. I thought it was going to be utterly fantastic.
It wasn’t.
He mentions many things in this book, but he makes points about none of them. Except that he really doesn’t like John Saul. Oh, and he really loves The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I mean, he REALLY likes it. He goes so far off topic in many areas of this book and sometimes he wanders back around, but not really.
I found myself so bored reading this. I thought I would never reach the end, even after skimming pages of him babbling incoherently about nothing much.
Read his book On Writing. It’s better by far.
