This book is a little bit biography and a lot bibliography and discussion of King's works – how they came to be, backstories for his stories, etc. Also includes discussion of the books that were made into movies; movies based on his books, of course, have had plenty of mixed reviews. Also discusses how King is and has been perceived and his reactions to those perceptions. And more...

I enjoyed this. I have read a lot of King, though (he was my favourite author in high school), and I suspect it is much more interesting to someone who has versus someone who has only read a few books by him. This was published in 1998, so there is, of course, nothing more recent than that mentioned in the book. ( )
