The Art and Craft of Stephen King

$110⁰⁰

A brand new direction in the style of BDL's All the Songs series, focusing on the work of bestselling authors, this one-of-its-kind work chronicles of every story Stephen King has ever told—from Carrie to Never Flinch and every nightmare in between.

Description

Stephen King is perhaps the most well-known author across horror, thriller, science fiction, and mystery genres, with more than 350 million books sold. Stephen King All the Stories examines in extensive detail how each novel, novella, and short story was created, developed, published, and adapted into successful films, television, and other media.

At 648 pages, Stephen King All the Stories is filled with the most popular titles like Shawshank Redemption, The Shining, and Carrie as well as the lesser-known ones like Joyland and Revival. This illustrated account contains more than 300 photographs that complement King's journey from a Maine high school teacher and part-time writer to a literary giant, gifted in crafting haunting atmospheres that elevated horror as a genre.
