Stephen King — Monsters Live in Ordinary People

Stephen King is a literary phenomenon — spanning many genres, from horror and fantasy to psychological thrillers and science fiction. In all, he has written more than 500 original works. His short stories in particular have won critical recognition. This thoughtful study of King's immense body of work shows how King builds on the work of writers from Stoker and Shelley to Dickens and Melville. It demonstrates how King shatters our illusions of safety and control by placing decent and good characters at the mercy of indifferent forces. King himself is very self-deprecating about his own work (he has described himself as 'the literary equivalent of a Big Mac') but this study shows how his work is informed by both the Gothic tradition and by the great naturalists — and his popular success is underpinned by deep sophistication. This is an excellent explanation of the techniques that King uses to achieve his effects. Author: Heidi Strengell.
