Danse Macabre
Danse Macabre | Stephen King
From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as experienced through the eyes of the most popular writer in the genre. In 1981, years before he sat down to tackle On Writing, Stephen King decided to address the topic of what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. Here, in ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that comprise the horror genrefrom Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. With the insight and good humor his fans appreciated in On ?Writing , Danse Macabre is an enjoyably entertaining tour through Stephen Kings beloved world of horror.

The biggest thing hurting this book is its dated references. It's always a pleasure to read King's personable ramblings, but when he's discussing esoterica from an era that has largely been surpassed and supplanted, the ability of his charming rhetoric to engage attention eventually runs out of steam. Fortunately, the meatiest portion of this book, a discussion of ten horror novels significant to the genre, is a delight to read. 3/5

While parts were interesting it wasn't really my cup of tea. At least now I can check it off of my list of unread Stephen King books so I guess that is something.

If I read this again, I‘ll read the copy I have on my shelf. It‘s nice that this edition was updated to cover some horror from the 1990s and 2000s; the original covered the 50s - the 70s and was first published in 1981. I still like the book but found the narrator to be a bit overly dramatic in some places and snarky & condescending in others. We went to the beach & I walked 2.13 miles at one time! First time since I was sick in July. #audiowalk

We went to the beach today. The boardwalk I like to walk on was closed because of hurricane damage. Actually most of the Gulf Island National Seashore was closed except the very front. It was a beautiful day though. I wish the top right picture wasn‘t so blurry so you could see how lovely the water was. Only two more chapters left. #audiowalk

I‘m on the fence about this narrator. In some places, he‘s perfect; in others, he‘s way too snarky, adding a level of condescension to Stephen King‘s words that I just don‘t think is there. Anyway, I‘ll continue to listen to it, and I did so today while walking. #audiowalk

Texreader I really enjoyed this book. Sounds like I‘d be frustrated with this narrator too 3y
KathyWheeler @Texreader Most of the time the narrator is fine. It‘s the occasional condescending snark that gets me though. I know King can be snarky but I never got condescension from his tone. 3y

@britt_brooke is reading this, and that made me want to read it again — it‘s been many years. I‘m listening to it, and it‘s been updated! My husband and I went out and about to various area parks where we sat and read. I also walked and listened. 3.15 miles today, y‘all! I‘m thrilled because it‘s been a long time since I could walk more than 1 mile. It wasn‘t all at once, but still. My sit and read book is Grady Hendrix‘s Horrorstor. #audiowalk

KathyWheeler In case your wondering about the bras, there‘s a breast cancer 5K that takes place on the causeway between Mobile & Baldwin Counties — Bras Across the Causeway. They always do this. 😊 3y
britt_brooke So happy you‘re feeling well enough to walk more. Beautiful pics! Happy you picked this book up again. 💚 3y
KathyWheeler @britt_brooke Thanks! Me too — not being able to do much was getting really old. That book first came out in 1981; I probably read it then. When you posted it, I remembered how much I loved it, and then I saw the audiobook in Scribd, so I had to listen to it. Thanks for reminding me of it. (edited) 3y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A history of the horror genre; well, at least up until the year I was born. This edition has a fairly updated intro, so that‘s cool. A fully updated version would be awesome! I‘m not big on horror, but I‘m fascinated by those who love to be scared. King is funny, illuminating, and passionate. He talks a lot about the Apollonian and Dionysian literary concepts, something I was unfamiliar with. Gonna give his horror fiction a try (finally).

JanuarieTimewalker13 Oh you‘ll like him. I used to think my friend was weird bc she loved King (like 25 years ago) and then I read him about 15 years ago for the first time and I understood...even though I didn‘t really like that book (the tommyknockers) I have loved so many others! (edited) 3y
britt_brooke @JanuarieTimewalker13 I don‘t like to be scared, but I know many of his books will be okay for me. Thematically they‘re not just horror, but much more. I just finished Carrie and loved it! He‘s a great storyteller. 3y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Cool!! I have to read Carrie!!! What‘s your next King? I‘m either going to read The Dark Half or Doctor Sleep (I‘ve already read The Shining). (edited) 3y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Haha! I think I read it last year. I liked it, and it was creepy, but I don‘t remember a lot. I‘m going to check my review. 3y
mrp27 I'm a horror wimp too so I've always avoided King. Then finally a couple years ago I took the plunge and read Joyland. It was a little spooky but I loved it and became a fan. He is a amazing person and writer for sure! 3y
britt_brooke @mrp27 Look at us expanding ourselves! 💚 Joyland sounds good. Should I add it to my TBR? (edited) 3y
mrp27 Ha!! I think so. A little spooky but also not one of his chunksters! 3y
mrp27 and I'm thinking I need to add Carrie to my tbr! 3y
KathyWheeler I love this book. Years ago, I asked, on a Stephen King message board run by his people, if he would ever update it. I got a one word answer — “No.”😞 3y
KathyWheeler @britt_brooke Joyland is very good. I‘ve both read and listened to it. 3y
britt_brooke @mrp27 Ok, good to know - thanks! Yes, add Carrie. It‘s disturbing but not really scary or gory. It‘s a great story! 3y
britt_brooke @KathyWheeler Bummer, but I‘m not surprised. 😩 Adding Joyland to my TBR - thanks! Reading The Shining now. 3y
dragondrool I didn't expect to absolutely fall for it like I did, because it's so not horror, but 11/22/63 is about as amazing as anything he's ever written. I kept getting miffed because that pesky job thing kept getting in the way of my reading. I also have huge soft spots for Cujo and Christine. Dolores Claiborne is fantastic. I also love Bag of Bones. 3y
britt_brooke @dragondrool 11/22/63 was so different! It was my very first King. I‘m so happy to finally try more of his fiction. Thanks for the recs! 3y
KathyWheeler @britt_brooke I got the audiobook today. King‘s people lied to me! There are new chapters in this book. Not 2019 or anything but Zombieland is mentioned. It‘s probably the one you read. I read it when it first came out. (edited) 3y
britt_brooke @KathyWheeler The one I listened to had a fairly recently updated introduction discussing Blair Witch at length. Briefly mentioned Zombieland only to say he hadn‘t seen it yet. He talked about the Saw movies and some other newish stuff, too. 3y

⭐️⭐️⭐️ A history of horror from the 1950s - 1980s. I loved the beginning, I must admit he lost me a bit during the Movie section, but brought me back with his discussion of ten iconic books of the time. I‘ve got some Peter Straub and Ray Bradbury on my TBR now. King finishes with why we write and read horror. A good read for a classic horror fan.

TheLudicReader Peter Straub is great...especially his older stuff. (edited) 4y
veritysalter @TheLudicReader I‘ve bought Ghost Story to read soon, King claims that that and The Haunting of Hill House are in his opinion the two best horror stories. I loved Hill House. I‘ve also got Something Wicked Comes This Way by Ray Bradbury and The House Next Door by Ann Siddons waiting in my basket. 4y
TheLudicReader I‘ve read quite a lot of Straub, especially the stuff he was writing in the 70s-80s. I remember being terrified while reading Floating Dragon (although I couldn‘t tell you one thing about that book now) I also found If You Could See Me Now deeply unsettling and I am dying to reread Shadowland, which I also remember loving. His collaboration with King is excellent, too. @veritysalter 4y
veritysalter @TheLudicReader Thank you, I‘ll have a look at those. I only really started on Classic Horror in the last year or so. I‘m very much enjoying it so far. 4y

Despite owning 2 copies of this book, I listened to it on audio. I‘m rating this a pick for the quality of the work and not my difficulty to stay engaged at times. It‘s a super in depth book on horror books, movies and TV. He definitely exposed me to movies I‘ve missed and authors I want to read. I especially enjoyed his personal antidotes and mentions of his son, Joe. Perfect time of year to read this one! 👻🎃👽#MountTBR

MarkoPDX We used this as a textbook in the sci-fi/horror class for my film studies degree. I thought it was very informative about the genre. 5y

This wasn‘t my favorite King—though that might be because the topic (exploration of horror from the 1950s-1980s) was before my time. I haven‘t read or watched much horror from that genre, so while I always love hearing King talk about horror and why we are so pulled to it, I could appreciate his analysis as much as a contemporary audience did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am an introvert and it turns out that when you get married, you don‘t get much alone time. My hubby goes to work after me and is home before me. And I love him so so much, but your girl needs some quiet. So I‘m trying a new habit: early morning reading time. The 5 am wake up call isn‘t great, but I think starting my day like this will make a difference.
Introverts—how do you get your quiet time in?

megnews I do the same. I‘m up at 5 to read for an hour before the kids are up and we‘re getting ready. Honestly I‘m grouchy if they wake up early during that time. 5y
AmyG I also do the same. Up early for some alone time. 5y
celtichik I stay up later than everyone else 5y

saresmoore 🙋‍♀️ INFJ, married 12 years to an ENFP and early morning reading time is a necessity for my survival/sanity. The habit has rubbed off on my kids & husband, too. We all bookend our days with, well, books. All that is to say: solidarity, sister! 5y
saresmoore @megnews Same here! I try to pretend that I‘m happy to see them, but I think it comes off more like Oscar wearing an Elmo mask... 5y
erank58 YES!! I've done this since college. Now even on weekends I'll be up way before everyone else just to get an hour of peace! 5y
Addison_Reads I understand completely. ☺ I stay up later than everyone to have my quiet, otherwise I get very grumpy with others in my house. My husband and nephew are both very good about giving me my alone time, but it's taken a few years to establish. 5y
Hestapleton @saresmoore Oscar wearing an Elmo mask feels like my permanent mood 😂😂 5y
SkeletonKey I also wake up extra early so that I can be alone and quiet to read before having to go to work, etc. But I also live alone so this is easier for me! 5y
Hestapleton @SkeletonKey yes, quiet time aside, reading before work has made a huge difference in my mood! 5y
Hestapleton @erank58 my hubby thinks I‘m crazy for getting up early on the weekends to read! 5y
Hestapleton @Addison_Reads yeah finding the habits that are the most restorative are hard! Especially when you have to navigate around other people‘s schedules. 5y
Hestapleton @celtichik I wish I could be a night owl! Once it‘s past nine, reading conks me out!! 5y
Hestapleton @AmyG @megnews yay early morning people! 5y
rretzler Fortunately my husband, and now my 2 sons, are introverts too, so we can have quiet time together so some extent. I prefer staying up later to waking up early so if I need quiet time, you may find me still up at 2AM and then gettin up for the day at 6:45 5y

Last month I read 13 books. This House is Haunted & Cappuccinos, Cupcakes & a Corpse were my favorites.
For #monthofBoyne I read A Ladder to the Sky & This House is Haunted. Both were good. For #subjectofthemonth which was historical fiction I meant to read Hunting Prince Dracula (which I haven't finished yet) but This House is Haunted works for that. Also I didn't get around to Crippen by Boyne which I still mean to.
A good month though 😺

Most of the references to TV and Movies were lost on me. I suppose that is a product of my age. I was 5 when this book was originally published. I knew slightly more about the books mentioned. There was a Forward that was written in 2010 which referenced Horror with which I was more familiar. Well written and an interesting topic, but reading was a chore due to my limited knowledge. #completecatalogue #stephenking #nonfiction

"...disbelief is not like a balloon, which may be suspended in air with a minimum of effort; it is like a lead weight, which has to be hoisted with a clean and a jerk and held up by main force. Disbelief isn't light; it's heavy."

This passage on what it takes for a reader (or viewer) of fantasy/horror to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the story spoke to me. ???

cherinium I have a harder time enjoying fiction that touches on subjects in which I am knowledgeable. I think this is why I did not enjoy Watchers. A premise put forth by the book was that Golden Retreivers were the perfect breed for the research because inheritable disease had been bred out of them. HA! Goldens are notoriously one of the WORST breeds for inheritable disease. I see it EVERY day. 6y

Q is for Quiet, as in A Quiet Place. King recently tweeted about this film, and his tweet has since been all over social media. John Krasinski, writer, director and actor in the film, mentioned in an interview he was "blown away" by King's praise. I'm sure I'm not the only one who watched the film because of Stephen King's recommendation either. ?
This is just one of many examples where King has influenced pop culture.

D is for Danse Macabre (French for Dance of Death).

Danse Macabre is a 1981 non-fiction book by Stephen King, about horror fiction in print, radio, film and comics.

“Horror in real life is an emotion that one grapples with ... all alone. It is a combat waged in the secret recesses of the heart.”

I just picked up this copy 😄 However, I feel like I may need to work my way up to this one.

Reading Stephen King‘s reflections on the genre of horror while watching my laundry do a dance of its own. This is a great follow-up to Dracula (and a precursor to King‘s homage to Dracula - ‘Salem‘s Lot). King suggests, “...we make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones. With the endless inventiveness of humankind, we grasp the very elements which are so divisive and destructive and try to turn them into tools - to dismantle themselves.”

The Captain Obvious award goes to the book I DID know I should read, and I just didn‘t. This year it‘s Danse Macabre. I have owned this for 20 years; and moved with it twice; but just never bothered. Idiot! This is like a conversation with King about his favorite horror books and films. He even gives us lists - I love lists! At this point it‘s dated - he wrote it in 1983. But don‘t put this off - you‘ll feel like an idiot.
