Monsters in the archives : my year of fear with Stephen King
Bicks, Caroline, 1966-2026
Books
After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process - most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question millions of King's enthralled and terrified readers (including her) have asked themselves: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book? Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works - The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, Salem's Lot, and Night Shift - to reveal how he crafted his language, storylines, and characters to cast his enduring literary spells.
