Danse Macabre (2012).

Published by Hachette Book Group.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 9781444723267
ISBN-13: 978-1444723267
Description:
From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as experienced through the eyes of the most popular writer in the genre. In 1981, years before he sat down to tackle On Writing, Stephen King decided to address the topic of what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. Here, in ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that comprise the horror genre—from Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers.
With the insight and good humor his fans appreciated in On Writing, Danse Macabre is an enjoyably entertaining tour through Stephen King’s beloved world of horror.
The author whose boundless imagination and storytelling powers have redefined the horror genre, from 1974’s Carrie to his new epic Under the Dome, reflects on the very nature of terror – what scares us and why – in films (both cheesy and choice), television and radio, and, of course, the horror novel, past and present.
Informal, engaging, tremendous fun, and tremendously informative, Danse Macabre is an essential tour with the master of horror as your guide; much like his spellbinding works of fiction, you won’t be able to put it down.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment
Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master
class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a
revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools
of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid
memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling
early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999 – and how the
inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly
structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain
everyone who reads it – fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well
told.
