No body writes better advice for horror writers than Stephen King, and lucky for us he's willing to share. It's also nice to know that he didn't become a best selling author over-night, so for those of use struggling to get published--there's hope. Not only does he give insight into his writing, but his ideas about the horror genre in general is unbelievable. He has seen it all. The movies he has seen that get very little attention in today's age of slasher films, has truly made me more of a fan of horror. Time to get watching! ( )

I found Bare Bones to be an insightful look into the writing world of Stephen King. A compilation of various interviews he's given from 1979 through 1987, after all these years of enjoying his work, I actually learned a thing or two about the man. His fiction is, for the most part, great--but I appreciate his nonfiction voice more I think. I would love to see an updated version from 1987 to present. ( )

Gives a new insight on King. I have several books on him, but this one is quite different then any of the others that I own. As cheesy as it sounds I feel like I know him better after reading this. ( )
