A fascinating, first-of-its-kind exploration of Stephen King and his most iconic early books, based on groundbreaking research and interviews with King-all conducted by the first scholar to be given extended access to his private archives
"A treat for fans of Stephen King."-Paul Tremblay
"A master class in craft-and a peek behind the curtain."-Stephen Graham Jones
"Illuminating and original."-Amy Tan
"It will be treasured by admirers of King's novels and is a must read for anyone curious about how great books get written."-James Shapiro, Professor of English, Columbia University
A LIT HUB MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR
After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process-most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question millions of King's enthralled and terrified readers (including her) have asked themselves: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book?
Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works-The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, 'Salem's Lot, and Night Shift-to reveal how he crafted his language, story lines, and characters to cast his enduring literary spells. While tracking King's margin notes and editorial changes, she discovered scenes and alternative endings that never made it to print but that King is allowing her to publish now. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history.
Part literary master class, part biography, part memoir and investigation into our deepest anxieties, Monsters in the Archives-authorized by Stephen King himself-is unlike anything ever published about the master of horror. It chronicles what Bicks found when she set out to unearth how King crafted some of his scariest, most iconic moments. But it's also a story about a grown-up English professor facing her childhood fears and getting to know the man whose monsters helped unleash them.
