Vampires in a small Town (Salem’s Lot by Stephen King)
Recently, a third adaptation of Salem’s Lot was released. So, today let’s revisit one of King’s most memorable novels, which is both very representative of early King and at the same time quite unique within his career as a whole.
An Unusual Novel by the King of Horror (“The Colorado Kid” by Stephen King)
The Colorado Kid is a small but unusual work by Stephen King. He steps away from his typical narrative style, turning instead to a different kind of mystery. Plot Young reporter Stephanie meets her mentors — Vince Teague and Dave Bowie, seasoned journalists who, knowing about her interest in crime stories, decide to share an…
Billy Summers by Stephen King
In recent years, Stephen King has been writing thrillers. And even in the books, which by description were supposed to be a horror, had much more thriller elements. Take The Institute or Later, with their supernatural children; they’re more thriller than horror, despite the marketing.

I’m sure you know exactly the kind of books I’m talking about. Well — Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King is precisely one…
Is She a Murderer? (Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King)
Dolores Claiborne is one of those Stephen King novels that doesn’t fit into his usual horror mold. There’s nothing supernatural here. Instead, we get a fully developed confession from a woman caught in a murder investigation: she’s suspected of killing her employer. On the surface, this seems to be the crux of the plot—but really,…
Massacre on a quiet street (The Regulators by Stephen King)
As a devoted Stephen King fan, I usually need two or three tries to get through some of his “unpassable” novels. But The Regulators was a different story…
