I love On Writing, but Danse Macabre, although not a writing manual, does an amazing job of discussing the art of storytelling, and what makes storytellers tick. Adore that book. Cannot praise it enough. I'd actually pick it over OW, if there could only be one book -- fortunately, people can have both.

If you want a sampler of Stephen King's other books, I think you should check out his collections of short stories. Some of them are really quite good, especially his earlier ones. Some are horror, some are not. Some of these short stories were later developed into his full novels. Here are Amazon.com links for you to check out and read reviews.

I'd love to read 11/22/63 but not available as translated ebook here yet. Although I saw it in print so perhaps only a matter of time. But oh my, it was the size of two bricks! But I like big books, anything under 400 pages is too short. I'm enjoying the thought that one day I will be able to read that half a ton book on my 150g Opus
Anyhow, to the point, I have my finger over "buy" button as for "Under the Dome". Worth the time and a good read? |

All right, thanks. I just needed to be slightly pushed with a finger, and I bought it. Looking forward to a cozy calm evening to start reading.

"Umney's last case" and "The Dr's Case" are good too. One is a Philip Marlowe like story and the other has Watson finding the solution to a crime before Holmes.

"Rose Madder"by Stephen King, is in my opinion, one of his finest books.It
appears that even the paperback is impossible to find. It is not a horror story as such, more of a narrative. Cheers. |
