Description
Stephen King's Gothic explores what is 'Gothic' about King's writing - its obsessions with the macabre, the uncanny and the horrific, with writers and the strange worlds they inhabit and create, with the disturbingly familiar monstrosities that lurk behind the shop-fronts and facades of small-town America and in the cupboards and closets of every family. Ultimately Stephen King's Gothic analyses what is most effective in the Gothic worlds of King's novels and stories - the writing itself.
