Dubbed “The King Of Horror”, Stephen King is probably the biggest and most recognisable name in the horror genre today. He has published over fifty best selling horror and fantasy novels, and has over 100 million novels in print.

Stephen King examines themes of predestination, fate, love and evil in his classic fifth novel, The Dead Zone.

In Stephen King’s post apocalyptic America, after the government’s superflu has struck and most of the population are dead, the remaining souls are caught up in an epic battle between good and evil.

Some people have it, and some people don’t—the shining, the ability to see what others don’t, the ability to commune with spirits... Five year old Danny Torrance has the shining. But will this be a help or a hindrance at the haunted and desolate Overlook Hotel, where the spirits don’t know their place?

The second novel of Stephen King—the phrase “classic seventies horror” isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

I wanted to get a couple of Stephen King’s under my belt, if only to review a run of the mill horror. I’m sure I read IT as a child. Anyway, he is apparently the master of the genre, even though there are some great contemporary authors who have learned from him and managed to produce some really original stuff.
