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.

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.

  • Cycle of the Werewolf and Silver Bullet
    An American Werewolf In America: Stephen King’s Cycle Of The Werewolf And Silver Bullet . Dr Simon Brown Kingston University Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf , featuring artwork by Berni Wrightson, was published as a limited edition in 1983, and a mass-market paperback in 1985. That same year a film adaptation, Silver Bullet , was released. The screenplay was by King himself, making Silver Bullet the first King screenplay to be filmed that was not a portmanteau of his individual short stories. Appearing when the werewolf was experiencing a resurgence in popular culture through films like An American Werewolf in London , The Howling and Wolfen (all 1981), Cycle of the Werewolf exists alongside other contemporary King novels as a reworking of traditional horror tropes through the prism of King’s vision of America and Americana. The Shining is an old-fashioned haunted house story transferred to a Colorado hotel, while Salem’s Lot brings the gothic European vampire into the world of small town rural Maine. Cycle of the Werewolf similarly brings lycanthropy to small town America. King was firmly established as the world’s most successful living author, when Silver Bullet was released in October 1985, the seventh Stephen King adaptation to appear in cinemas in just over two years. As a horror writer, King transcended genre to achieve mainstream success, something not replicated in the adaptations of his work. Against the background of this disconnect between King as literature and King as cinema, this paper will explore, through an analysis of the book and the film, the way in which King both adopts and adapts the tropes of the werewolf and uses them to feed his own preoccupations.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Stephen King Stephen King, popularly known as “The King of Horror,” is one of the more prolific and successful writers of the twentieth century. Despite a reputation for writing only horror and gore, however, King has written works that do not qualify as either horror or supernatural but rather are thoughtful, intricate slices of human experience that often cause us to reflect on our own childhoods, not always with fond nostalgia. He encourages his readers to get in touch with their own memories of what being a child really means, and innocence has little to do with King's version of childhood. Believing that most adults have lost touch with their imaginations and a sense of the mythic, King constantly challenges his readers to expand their concepts of memory and experience. Life A writer who is remarkably open about his own history, King is frequently asked what seems to be an inevitable question: Where do you get your ideas? He has observed numerous times that this question seems to be asked more frequently of writers within the horror genre than of others, as though his story lines reflect an unstable mind.

List of books 2 Introduction Stephen King is known around the world as today's most successful author of horror fiction. It has been written that "...King could write out his laundry list and have it published." Though there is truth to this, the quality of King's work has never wavered, from his early short stories, to Wizards and Glass, the recently released and long awaited book of the Dark Tower Series. King worked hard to be where he is today. Rejections (and there were many in the beginning) failed to dishearten him. He was a story teller at heart, and built his obsession with writing into an amazingly successful career. "There is only one way to learn how to write," King said in an article I read some time back, "that is to write and write and write... there is no other way." 3 Biography( Stephen King as writer) Stephen Edwin King was born on September 21, 1947 at the Maine General Hospital in Portland Maine. His parents were Donald Edwin King and Ruth Pillsbury King. Stephen being the only natural born child in the family and his older brother David having been adopted at birth two years earlier. The Kings were the typical family until one night when Donald King said he was stepping out for cigarettes and was never heard from again.

  • Different Seasons
    FONT: Anavio DIFFERENTregular (www.my nts.com) SEASONS ABOUT THE BOOK IN BRIEF: Different Seasons is a collection of four novellas: ‘Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption’ (filmed as ‘The Shawshank Redemption’), ‘Apt Pupil’ (also a film), ‘The Body’ (filmed as ‘Stand by Me’) and ‘The Breathing Method’. All four stories are among King’s most powerful, described by the author in the afterword as ‘stories about an off-beat prison break, an old man and a young boy locked in a gruesome relationship, a quartet of country boys on a journey of discovery, and an off-the-wall horror story about a young woman determined to give birth to her child no matter what.’ IN DETAIL: ‘Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption’ is narrated by Red, a prison fixer who can get you anything you want inside, from green milkshakes to movie posters, although he has his principles about what he’ll sell you. When he becomes friends with Andy Dufresne, the two men form a bond that sustains them through years of incarceration. In ‘Apt Pupil’, a high-achieving schoolboy named Todd discovers that his neighbour Dussander is a Nazi war criminal. Rather than turn him in, he starts visiting his house and getting him to tell him everything about the camps. The two form an unusual relationship, with Dussander even going to Todd’s school to stop his parents finding out about his poor grades. But Dussander is nursing a sickness in Todd, and soon the two of them will find new outlets for their darkness. ‘The Body’ is a nostalgic coming-of-age tale about the kind of friends people have when they are twelve, narrated by Gordon, a bestselling author looking back on his life.
