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 CLICK TO SIGN UP FOR Stephen King SUMMER BOOK CLUB Join us in reading Carrie by Stephen King over on my private podcast SECRET STUFF where I'm hosting Stephen King Summer.
