Many readers know Stephen King for his early works of horror, from
his fiction debut Carrie to his blockbuster novels The Shining, The
Stand, and Misery, among others. While he continues to be a
best-selling author, King's more recent fiction has not received
the kind of critical attention that his books from the 1970s and
1980s enjoyed. Recent novels like Duma Key and 1/22/63 have been
marginalized and, arguably, cast aside as anomalies within the
author's extensive canon. In Stephen King's Contemporary Classics:
Reflections on the Modern Master of Horror, Philip L. Simpson and
Patrick McAleer present a collection of essays that analyze,
assess, and critique King's post-1995 compositions. Purposefully
side-stepping studies of earlier work, these essays are arranged
into three main parts: the first section examines five King novels
published between 2009 and 2013, offering genuinely fresh
scholarship on King; the second part looks at the development of
King's distinct brand of horror; the third section departs from
probing the content of King's writing and instead focuses on King's
process. By concentrating on King's most recent writings, this
collection offers provocative insights into the author's work,
featuring essays on Dr. Sleep, Duma Key, The Girl Who Loved Tom
Gordon, Joyland, Under the Dome, and others. As such, Stephen
King's Contemporary Classics will appeal to general fans of the
author's work as well as scholars of Stephen King and modern
literature.
