Davis All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Monsters and Mayhem: Physical and Moral Survival in Stephen King’s Universe Jaime L. Davis Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature, BYU Master of Arts The goal of my thesis is to analyze physical and moral survival in three novels from King’s oeuvre. Scholars have attributed survival in King’s universe to factors such as innocence, imaginative capacity, and career choice. Although their arguments are convincing, I believe that physical and moral survival ultimately depends on a character’s knowledge of the dark side of human nature and an understanding of moral agency.

  • Chapter I: Callahan and the Vampires
    Chapter I: Callahan and the Vampires one Pere Don Callahan had once been the Catholic priest of a town, ’Salem’s Lot had been its name, that no longer existed on any map. He didn’t much care. Concepts such as reality had ceased to matter to him. This onetime priest now held a heathen object in his hand, a scrimshaw turtle made of ivory. There was a nick in its beak and a scratch in the shape of a question mark on its back, but otherwise it was a beautiful thing. Beautiful and powerful. He could feel the power in his hand like volts. “How lovely it is,” he whispered to the boy who stood with him. “Is it the Turtle Maturin? It is, isn’t it?” The boy was Jake Chambers, and he’d come a long loop in order to return almost to his starting-place here in Manhattan. “I don’t know,” he said. “She calls it the sköldpadda, and it may help us, but it can’t kill the harriers that are waiting for us in there.” He nodded toward the Dixie Pig, wondering if he meant Susannah or Mia when he used that all-purpose feminine pronoun she. Once he would have said it didn’t matter because the two women were so tightly wound together. Now, however, he thought it did matter, or would soon. “Will you?” Jake asked the Pere, meaning Will you stand. Will you fight. Will you kill. “Oh yes,” Callahan said calmly. He put the ivory turtle with its wise eyes and scratched back into his breast pocket with the extra shells for the gun he carried, then patted the cunningly made thing once to make sure it rode safely.

Firstly, I would like to thank my sister, Ásrún, who convinced me to finish my master’s degree alongside her. There were times when I secretly cursed her name for tricking me onto this path of further education, though truly I am grateful, for even though the road has at times been difficult it has also been extremely rewarding. Ásrún has proven to be a great sounding board and an invaluable friend throughout this whole process and I am happy to share this experience with her. I would also like to thank my family, my husband and children, for their endless support and patience. My children were very understanding of their mother’s never-ending writing sessions throughout their summer holidays and my husband is an endless fountain of love and encouragement, he truly is my rock. I would also like to acknowledge my mother who has had to endure losing both her daughters at the same time into the abyss of academia, she too has been an invaluable support and a great friend.

  • Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
    Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.

  • 1St Stanza: Beamquake
    1ST STANZA: BEAMQUAKE ONE "How long will the magic stay?" At first no one answered Roland's question, and so he asked it again, this time looking across the living room of the rectory to where Henchick of the Manni sat with Cantab, who had married one of Henchick's numerous granddaughters. The two men were holding hands, as was the Manni way. The older man had lost a granddaughter that day, but if he grieved, the emotion did not show on his stony, composed face. Next to Roland, holding no one's hand, silent and dreadfully white, sat Eddie Dean. Beside him, cross-legged on the floor, was Jake Chambers. He had pulled Oy into his lap, a thing Roland had never seen before and would not have believed the billy-bumbler would allow. Both Eddie and Jake were splattered with blood. That on Jake's shirt belonged to his friend Benny Slightman. That on Eddie's belonged to Margaret Eisenhart, once Margaret of Redpath, the lost granddaughter of the old patriarch. Both Eddie and Jake looked as tired as Roland felt, but he was quite sure there would be no rest for them this night. Distant, from town, came the sounds of fireworks and singing and celebration. There was no celebration here. Benny and Margaret were dead, and Susannah was gone. "Henchick, tell me, I beg: how long will the magic stay?" The old man stroked his beard in a distracted fashion. "Gunslinger -- Roland -- I can't say. The magic of the door in that cave is beyond me.

  • A Study of Strategic Deployment of Supernatural and Non-Supernatural Elements in Stephen King’S Salem’S Lot
    INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 A Study of Strategic Deployment of Supernatural and Non-supernatural Elements in Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot 1* Dr. SUDHIR V. NIKAM, Head, PG Department of English B.N.N. College, Bhiwandi, Mumbai 2* Mr. RAJKIRAN J. BIRAJE, Shri Shahaji Chhatrapati Mahavidyalaya, Dasara Chowk, Kolhapur Ph.D. Scholar (Mumbai University) When someone thinks of Stephen King, the most popular horror fiction author of the century, it is likely that they would imagine the blood, gore, supernatural elements and suspense for which he is known. Stephen King is probably the foremost and most celebrated American horror fiction writer whose literature has crossed all geographical boundaries. Stephen King is one of the most popular contemporary horror fiction writers. King’s novels provide a good basis for discussion about various possibilities of appropriation of different phenomena. According to critics Salem’s Lot will turn to bewilderment, bewilderment to confusion and finally terror. Stephen King generates the Emotion of scariness in readers through the Supernatural elements as well as Non- supernatural elements. American Gothic mode successfully manages inquiries of monstrosity and the human condition and what's more, of individuals' ability for abhorrent. In spite of the fact that King much of the time utilizes outside evils as aliens, phantoms, vampires, and demons, his stories are well established not only as horror ones but psychological ones too. This is what we can see in Salem’s Lot. The purpose of this paper is to analyze King’s most famous gothic novel Salem’s Lot. Salem’s Lot by Stephen King is shown as the draculian novel.
