Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

  • 2018 Winning Stories
    Top 3 Overall Winners NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T By: Dr. Rush Pierce It must have started some time before, but I assign the beginning to a sunny August day, auspicious at the time for another reason. I was looking forward to hiking with my daughter, now grown and living far away. Our fun day together ended with a strange comment: “Daddy, your left calf is smaller than the other one.” Some months later I noticed difficulty using my left leg to climb a steep ledge. I recalled my daughter’s comment and thought, that’s odd, stepping up is mainly a function of quadriceps muscles, not gastrocnemius. Then I fell during my morning run. That evening, I measured my calf circumferences by palpating my tibial tuberosities, measuring 10 cm inferiorly, drawing a line, and then circling my calves with a measuring tape. Indeed, there was a 3 cm difference. I recalled a colleague saying they no longer teach medical students this technique because calf swelling has low likelihood ratios for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis. Oh well, I thought, I’m not trying to diagnose DVT. I looked up the causes of painless calf atrophy in a 63-year-old man and found a short list of mostly bad diseases. I saw my primary care physician. I was pleased when she measured my calf circumferences like I had. “There’s a 3 cm difference, I want you to see a neurologist.” This took a few months. By then I had observed occasional twitching movements in my leg.

    DOI https://doi.org/10.36059/978-966-397-194-0/1-22 STYLISTIC BASIS OF STEPHEN KING’S HORROR NOVELS Liubov Didukh INTRODUCTION Stephen King is a popular modern writer of horror. Some critics do not approve his writing style, and this is what differentiates him from other popular horror writers. S. King’s writing style is very specific and distinctive. The author uses many figures or measures that are not common to most modern writers and this is what makes him and his works so special. This article is focused on stylistic peculiarities of S. King’s writing style. As Teodoro Gómez wrote in his book about S. King, ‘King was manifoldly christened an American Dickens because of his style, plain and simple in receival’1 [translation mine]. This cannot be argued – his writing style goes down well with most of his readers, although some of the more demanding intellectuals disdain it. Obviously, in the literary community there is controversy on this topic. Some people notice that ‘it is very easy to be upset with horror writer Stephen King, for not only has he turned out his annual, successful terrifier, he has also produced a remarkable nonfiction work in which he discusses the meaning and the appeal of the horror story’2. This is not a popular technique among writers – to give away their secrets about how to write to achieve success. Nonetheless, this is just what S. King does. This is a reason of adoration from one side, but also a reason of animosity from the other.

  • Dan Simmons's Summer of Night As Horror Novel
    DAN SIMMONS’S SUMMER OF NIGHT AS HORROR NOVEL KASABE SOMNATH DEVIDAS Research Scholar, Department of English, Shivaji University, Kolhapur MS (INDIA) There is some debate as to whether "horror" is a genre or, like "adventure," an aspect that may be found in several genres. Horror is a certain mood or atmosphere that might be found in a variety of places. Traditionally, horror was associated with certain archetypes such as demons, witches, ghosts, vampires and the like. However, this can be found in other genres, especially fantasy. If horror is a genre, then it deals with a protagonist dealing with overwhelming dark and evil forces. The key ingredient in horror fiction is its ability to provoke fear or terror in readers, usually via something demonic. There should be a sense of dread, unease, anxiety, or foreboding. Some critics have noted that experiencing horror fiction is like reading about your worst nightmares. Summer Of night was more about the "secrets and silences of childhood" than it was about monsters. Here are a few snapshots from that summer of 1960 in the "real" Elm Haven - Brimfield, Illinois - with a kid brother and some true friends who may (or may not) bear a close resemblance to some of the characters in Summer Of Night. Key Words- Horror, Novel, Summer of Night. Introduction- Dan Simmons was born in Peoria, Illinois, in 1948, and grew up in various cities and small towns in the Midwest. Since his first published short story won the Rod Serling Memorial Award in the 1982 Twilight Zone Magazine Short Fiction contest, Dan Simmons has won some of the top awards in science fiction, horror, fantasy, and thriller genres, as well as honors for his mainstream fiction.

  • Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock
    ABSTRACT A Dark Mirror: Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock Director: Dr. Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Stephen King is well known for popular horror fiction but has recently been addressed more thoroughly by literary critics. While most studies focus on horror themes and the relationships between various characters, this thesis explores the importance of the author characters in three works by Stephen King: Misery, The Dark Half, and The Shining. The introduction gives a background of Stephen King as an author of popular horror fiction and discusses two themes that are connected to his author characters: doppelgängers and duality, and the idea of the death of the author. The death of the author is the idea that an author's biography should not affect the interpretation of a text. Implicit in this idea is the notion that the separation of an author from his work makes the text more literary and serious. The second chapter on Misery explores the relationship between the author and the readership or fans and discusses Stephen King’s divide caused by his split between his talent as an author of popular fiction and a desire to be a writer of literary fiction. The third chapter concerning The Dark Half explores Stephen King’s use of the pseudonym Richard Bachman and the splitting this created within himself and the main character of his novel. The last chapter includes discussion of The Shining and the author character’s split in personality caused by alcohol and supernatural sources. Studying the author characters and their doppelgängers reveals the unique stance King takes on the “death of the author” idea and shows how he represents the splitting of the self within his works.
