Monstruos en el archivo : Mi año de terror con Stephen King

A fascinating and unprecedented exploration of Stephen King's universe and the most iconic books from his early career, based on groundbreaking research and interviews with the author himself. Caroline Bicks, the University of Maine's first Stephen E. King Professor of Literature, was also the first researcher King granted extended access to his personal archives: a treasure trove of manuscripts, drafts, and notes never before examined. The year Caroline Bicks spent exploring King's early drafts and handwritten corrections was guided by a question millions of fascinated and terrified readers—herself included—have asked themselves: What is it about Stephen King's writing that stays with us and haunts us long after we've closed the book? Through an analysis of five iconic works —The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, Salem’s Lot, and Night Shift— Bicks reveals how King crafted his language, plots, and characters, and uncovers alternate scenes and endings authorized by the author. Part masterclass, part biography, and part memoir, Monsters in the File offers unparalleled access to the creative workshop of the master of horror and the fears that continue to haunt millions of readers.
