I gave that about two minutes before pulling the ripcord and bailing out. Anyone who thinks "Stephen King" is a subgenre has no clue what "genre" means, and I figure I'm probably going to find a lot to disagree with in whatever that person has to say next.
I agree with Bryant. Stephen King may be the most well known horror fiction writer in the genre, but he is not the genre. While King is an excellent writer, there are other horror fiction writers that are also very talented writers.
In short, readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Stephen King's novels will find a motherlode of interesting information inside the pages of Brighton David Gardner's insightful and illuminating treatise.
I can't recommend it enough, so be sure to get it either for your Kindle or e-Reader of choice, or buy the print version because it's easily worth twice the cover price.

ReplyDelete"Animation" is also frequently referred to as a genre. It isn't; it's a medium.
ReplyDeletePeople misapply the word "genre" left and right, willy-nilly.
