“After all, there are beasts everywhere.”

A wonderful book that takes a wise, loving look at horror and its neighbouring genres, mostly from the 50’s to the 80’s. King sits down and has a fascinating conversation with the reader, adding interesting facts about himself and his life along with his insight in horror fiction and film. Often very funny, often very enlightening. And, best of all, he makes you want to read and watch the books and films he’s talking about – the good as well as the bad ones.
