title: Danse Macabre
author:  Stephen King 
description: In the fall of 1978 (between <i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451169530/${0}">The Stand</a></i> and <i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451155750/${0}">The Dead Zone</a></i>), Stephen King taught a course at the University of Maine on "Themes in Supernatural Literature." As he writes in the foreword to this book, he was nervous at the prospect of "spending a lot of time in front of a lot of people talking about a subject in which I had previously only felt my way instinctively, like a blind man." The course apparently went well, and as with most teaching experiences, it was as instructive, if not more so, to the teacher as it was to the students. Thanks to a suggestion from his former editor at Doubleday, King decided to write <i>Danse Macabre</i> as a personal record of the thoughts about horror that he developed and refined as a result of that course.

  DANSE MACABRE is a unique combination of fantasy and autobiography of classic
  horror writing honed to an unforgettable edge; an analysis of horror, terror
  and the supernatural in films, television and books by the bestselling master
  of the genre - Stephen King. Ranging across the whole spectrum of horror in
  popular culture and going back to the seminal classics of Count Dracula and
  Frankenstein, Stephen King describes his ideas on how horror works on many
  levels, and how he bring it to bear in his own inimitable novels.
