Recensioner i media
The manuscript absolutely offers new insights and concepts. The variety of authors, with their individual focuses, examine King through innovative and thought-provoking lenses., - Bev Vincent, author of Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences, This informative volume on theorizing Stephen King is an important addition to the study of King's fiction and should most definitely be a required text for any new (or seasoned) King scholar. Blouin masterful start to the volume with Stephen King does not much care for English Professors immediately calls out the elephant in the room that all King scholars know, and then carefully constructs a framework of why we, as King scholars, should care. From long-time King scholar Tony Magistrale's in-depth analysis of theorizing King through the years (an absolute must read for everyone!), to Patrick McAleer's analysis of what I consider the lost King novels that are worthy of, but never received the amount of scholarly attention as King's more popular works, to Douglas Cowan's focus on King's religious themes, to Jeffrey Weinstock's focus on King's writers, this book is an important and needed addition to the currently available scholarship on Stephen King., - Mary Finley, Vermont State University
