Stephen's King Contemporary Classics: Reflections on the Modern Master of Horror, Philip L. Simpson et Patrick McAleer (ed.)Rowman &#38; Littlefield "Contemporary Modern Literature"Avec un article de Clotilde Landais, “Reading Joyland and Dr. Sleep as Complementary Stories.”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.&#160;Crédit photo : scarymotherfucker.wordpress.com
