The Modern Stephen King Canon: Beyond Horror is a collection of
essays focused on the more recent writings of Stephen King,
including Revival, 11/22/63, and a selection of short stories by
the "Master of the Macabre." The authors write about King works
that have received little critical attention and aim to open up
doorways of analysis and insight that will help readers gain a
stronger appreciation for the depth and detail within King's
fiction. Indeed, while King is often relegated to the role of a
genre writer (horror), the essays in this collection consider the
merits of King's writing beyond the basics of horror for which he
is primarily known. Recommended for scholars of literature, horror,
and popular culture.

Although studies on Stephen King (1947-) traditionally belong to
the field of popular culture, some of his work, such as The Dark
Half and popular culture, some of his work, such as The Dark Half
and "Secret Window, Secret Garden," give an insightful perspective
on contemporary fiction. Drawing upon methods used in literary
analysis and textual interpretation, this book proposes a new
reading of Stephen King's fiction as a literary reflection on the
artistic identity of the writer and on writing and shows that
horrific descriptions do not necessarily exclude metafiction.
Stephen King as a Postmodern Author aims to serve as an
introduction to major theories influencing contemporary American
literature, such as narratology, psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and
various theories of fiction.
