<p><p>The author whose boundless imagination and storytelling powers have redefined the horror genre, from 1974's <i>Carrie</i> to his epic <i>Under the Dome</i>, reflects on the very nature of terror--what scares us and why--in films (both cheesy and choice), television and radio, and, of course, the horror novel, past and present.</p><p>Informal, engaging, tremendous fun, and tremendously informative, <i>Danse Macabre</i> is an essential tour with the master of horror as your guide; much like his spellbinding works of fiction, you won't be able to put it down.</p></p>
