Trip to the bookstore

[Blarg]

Danse Macabre was a non-fiction work he did a long time ago, about horror in popular culture. It was a really good read, and clearly King is exactly the right guy to talk about it. He talks about the hows and whys of the way good horror works, older writing and its themes and echoes in the present day, and mentions some of the great horror in t.v. and movies. I've both loved and hated King, but he comes through big time in this book even if you're not particularly a King fan at all. It's well worth considering, if you're going to pick up some King.
