Stephen King “Danse Macabre” Signed Limited Edition, First Edition #231/250 (Fine in Fine Slipcase)
Dance Macabre is Stephen King‘s 1981 nonfiction book on the horror fiction genre and United States pop culture. It takes us through the various influences on his writing, plus important genre texts of the 20th century. Focusing on horror and suspense films, comic books, old time radio, television and fiction from a fan’s perspective, King peppers his book with informal academic insight, discussing archetypes, important authors, common narrative devices, “the psychology of terror”, and his key theory of “Dionysian horror.”

Stephen King “The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger” First Edition, First Printing (Fine/Near Fine) w/Slipcase
More Stephen King! The Dark Tower took King twelve years to write and was first published serially in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. It is a novel inspired by the poem “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came” by Robert Browning, which King read as a sophomore at the University of Maine. He’s been quoted as saying that he “played with the idea of trying a long romantic novel embodying the feel, if not the exact sense, of the Browning poem.”
