Dance of death. King S.

One of the most famous non -artistic works of Stephen King, in which he acts not in the role of a writer, but as a critic, thoughtfully, subtly and with humor analyzing the horror genre.

written on the basis of the cycle of lectures of King “Features of the literature on the supernatural”, this book will tell a lot about “Culture of Horrors” in the cinema, on the radio and, of course, in the literature. Steven King tells especially inspiration about the horror genre in cinema - and even attaches to the book a list of his favorite films.

So, why do we like the “terrible” stories so much? What works of classics of American literature of the twentieth century influenced the development of the genre? And finally, what films are wandering around the master himself?
