Stephen King discusses horror movies and literature from 1950-1980. A look inside the mind of the icon. It's an interesting, if somewhat chaotic, look at the literature of the time period. With plenty of anecdotes from King about how he got into the field and what brought him there. A good read with a fine reference guide to films and books from the period.

I didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. I don't usually get into Non-Fiction books but Stephen King has a great way of drawing you in. I especially enjoyed the section on Tv and Horror movies. Surprisingly the section on Horror novels was a bit dry to me. Even though I hadn't seen a lot of the movies he mentioned (this book was written before I was even born) he's good at describing the necessary scenes. For some reason, to me, he didn't do as great a job as drawing me into the Horror novel section. King's sense of humor really comes through in this book too.
