Description

He is watching with more than a little trepidation to find out what Netflix will make of it: “Frankly, I don’t think any adaptation (even the Wise film, as good as it is) will ever achieve the heights of the novel,” he says. “With that in mind, it might be a wise decision for the television series to go for its ‘modern reimagining’ rather than attempting another faithful adaptation. We’ll see.” Central Theme: Despite most of his books being centered in the supernatural horror genre, childhood and the darker side of the human psyche seem to be two of the most common themes. Rage (1977) — A kid commits a school shooting and has a strange discussion with his classmates. Written long before the events at Columbine High School. No longer in print by King's request. Workaholic: The man seems incapable of not writing for any extended period of time and has even described it as an addiction.

The Drawing of the Three (1987) — Second Dark Tower book. The gunslinger calls his True Companions, and boundaries of worlds are crossed. Roadwork (1981) — The planned demolition of a man's home for a highway extension sends him on a seemingly irrevocable path of self-destruction. As with Long Walk, an adaptation was finally mounted in 2019.The Outsider (2018)— A beloved pillar of the community is arrested for a brutal murder that numerous pieces of incontrovertible evidence tie him to... yet there's equally unbeatable evidence that he was miles away at the time. A continuation of the Mercedes saga. A miniseries adaptation starring Ben Mendelsohn, unrelated to the Mr. Mercedes adaptation, premiered in January 2020 on HBO. Rose Madder (1995) — Abused wife escapes her cop husband, starts over in a new city. Husband finds her, but not before she finds help from someone...or some thing. Third of the "abused wife" trilogy (subtly connected to Gerald and Dolores). Has tenuous ties to the Dark Tower series.

He describes terror as "the finest element" of the three, and the one he strives hardest to maintain in his own writing. Citing many examples, he defines "terror" as the suspenseful moment in horror before the actual monster is revealed. Aliens in Cardiff: In King's works, Maine is apparently America's very own Lovecraft State, what with all the Ancient Astronauts, Wendigos and Eldritch Abominations hanging out there.

For Lotz, it is the ambiguity that makes Hill House stand out. “Is Eleanor the victim, is she behind the haunting, or is it all in her own mind?” she says. “To me, the best haunted house narratives are never just about the dead – they’re about the living and the psychological. In Hill House, the real horror comes from the tragedy that Eleanor thinks she is escaping her stultifying family situation, but can’t escape her own mind.” These first four were originally released individually, and then reprinted in an omnibus titled The Bachman Books.The Lawnmower Man" — A bit of a special case. The 1992 film The Lawnmower Man was purported to be derived from the Stephen King story but had so little to do with it (even citing that there's a lawnmower in both stories is a stretch) that King actually took legal action to remove his name from it. The original title was Cyber God, and the Stephen King title was only brought on board to raise sales. Later adapted into a much more faithful Comic Book story.

The answer seems to be that we make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones. With the endless inventiveness of humankind, we grasp the very elements which are so divisive and destructive and try to turn them into tools—to dismantle themselves.” ― Stephen King, quote from Danse MacabreThe Talisman (1984) — Epic quest across America and its alternate-dimensional cousin, co-written with Peter Straub. A proposed film (and/or miniseries) adaptation has been in Development Hell since 1985, with such names as Will Smith, Michael J. Fox, and Steven Spielberg being connected with the project at various times. Tied into The Dark Tower saga. Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, published in 1938, was the last ‘respectable’ horror novel, or maybe a case could be made for 1954’s The Bad Seed,” he says. When Hill House appeared, the bestselling books of the day were “earnest epics” such as Doctor Zhivago, with horror fiction “mostly relegated to the pulps”. Audie Awards® - APA".
