Ep 121: Stephen King Starter Kit
Manage episode 295021991 series 2479554
Stephen King is a genius and I believe we will one day study him in academic settings like we do other literary giants.
(He's also my favorite author.)
I'm making a case today for why YOU should read this master storyteller. He has created some of the most iconic characters and plot lines and imagery in history, but he gets a bad rap from casual readers because his most popular work is horror.
But horror as a genre might not be what you think it is. I believe you can handle it, or at least some of it. And I don't think readers should dismiss such an important author just because his work is deemed "scary."
In this episode we talk about:
- Why Stephen King matters
- His brief biography
- What stands out about his writing and his stories
- My personal favorites
- Where you should start
