Stephen King: The art of darkness

[Christiane17]

Any of you owns that book in their SK library?

I got it in 1985 as a gift . It's by Douglas E. Winter, and it's full of infos about Steve and also good pics of him as a kid and a young man. Interviews are in there and descriptions of his work. Something a SK fan likes to own for sure. I'm glad I have it.

It's a fantastic resource which I use often when answering fan questions. I asked Doug several years ago when he was going to write an update but he just smiled and said that wouldn't be happening.

It's an excellent, excellent book. I still refer to it a lot as well.

Ahhh! That's too bad an update won't be written by Doug. But I would welcome another piece of work like this written by somebody else. Like you said, it's a great reference book, and I wonder if it's still in book stores, as I never saw it again. At least not in my area.

Another good one is The Stephen King Universe by Stanley Wiater, Chris Golden, and Hank Wagner. There was one update several years ago, but I don't think The Art of Darkness is currently in print.
