How about a 1980-2010 Danse Macabre essay?!

[Dana Jean]

Danse Macabre is one of my most favorite books. A lot of people don't realize that there is a lot of Stephen's life in those pages, stories and anecdotes. It's a great book. Plus, growing up pretty close to that same time, I'm pretty much in the loop with those movies, having seen them when they first came out. (and I've read 6 of the 10 books he discusses. Two others I think I read, but can't remember them at all, so I don't count them.)

I would be interested in a follow up, maybe not as detailed, but just his thoughts in general. I know he sort of does this in his Pop of King articles, but those are just snippets of things. I do wish he would get more in depth with his opinions. I love his non-fiction voice!

King did write a sort-of follow up called "What's Scary" -- it appeared in Fangoria in two parts. It's also reprinted as a Forenote in the most recent paperback version of Danse Macabre.

Not a proper sequel, but very good, and well worth seeking out.

I got the audio version of Danse with a long forward that was added maybe three or four years ago. It's bound to be in a print version as well. It can't be too terribly old since it talks about Blair Witch 1 and 2, as well as many other horror movies from this century.
