Opcje zakupu i dodatki
Even if you are a die-hard fan, you will find something new in this beautifully packaged Stephen King reference that you will return to again and again. Timed to celebrate Stephen King's 75th birthday on September 21, 2022, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences reveals the inspiration behind the prolific author's brilliant works of horror through a combination of photos and documents from King's archives and an engaging account of the stories behind how his novels, novellas, short stories, and adaptations came to be.
It might sound like a tall tale that Stephen King once met a bartender named Grady in an empty hotel in Colorado, or that the celebrated author helped his young daughter bury her cat in a nearby "pets sematary" after it was killed on a busy roadway. In this book, discover how King drew on these and more real personal experiences and mundane life events, then employed his extraordinary imagination to twist them into something horrific.
From impoverished university student to struggling schoolteacher to one of the best-selling--and most recognizable--authors of all time, this engrossing book reveals the evolution and influences of Stephen King's body of work over his nearly 50-year career, and how the themes of his writing reflect the changing times and events within his life.
An expansion of Stephen King expert Bev Vincent's The Stephen King Illustrated Companion, this fully revised, redesigned, and updated book includes:
- A review of King's complete body of work, including Fairy Tale, published in September 2022.
- A wealth of rare memorabilia from King's own collection, including personal and professional correspondences, handwritten manuscript pages, book covers, movie stills, and a never-before-seen excerpts from one of his poems.
- Interludes on specific topics such as real-life settings that inspired King's writing, the editor who discovered him, his life as a Boston Red Sox fan, and the many awards and honors he has received.
- Insightful quotes from King from interviews over the decades.
Celebrate the beloved King of Horror with this informational and entertaining look inside King's most iconic titles and the culture they have created.

Recenzja
"It's a blast to open the book at random and dive in, and Vincent ensures every King text receives its just due."--TheFilmStage.com
"When it comes to expounding on King's work, Vincent knows his stuff, through and through. Whether writing about King's radio station or time with the Rock-Bottom Remainders, Vincent is curious in his approach and thorough in his results."--Michael Berry, Portland Press Herald
"...takes fans on an in-depth look at exactly what it is that makes the King of Horror tick. Vincent knows his material and delivers the sort of depth and detail that many 'behind the scenes' books promise, but rarely deliver."--FilmJuice
"Bev Vincent did an amazing job putting this book together. It has everything you need to know about Stephen King. If you are about to delve into Stephen King, I recommend you start with Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work Life, and Influences by Bev Vincent."--Sandbox World
"Vincent consistently displays that same knack for expertly tucked-away nuggets amidst a more conventional narrative paved on book publications and career milestones. Vincent writes about King
in a direct and simple style that allows King, often quoted verbatim, to rise to the fore. The volume,
''published on the occasion of Stephen King's seventy-fifth birthday, '' transcends the simple marketing tool or hagiographic indulgence it might have been by combining studious knowledge with accessibility and insight."--Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, Locus Mag
"The almost conversational tone of the book is engaging and accessible, with extensive footnotes, credits, and appendices to extend readers' experience with the topic."--Library Journal
"This is a great reference book that the casual reader of King's books will learn a lot from and in which, even we King nerds that read everything he has written still find new things."
--Lilja's Library
"...noted King chronicler Bev Vincent's spent years delving into the undoubtedly haunted halls of King's archives, unearthing letters, notes, outlines and photos that shed light on the novelist's inspirations and frustrations. The resulting encyclopedic account of the novelist's life and career, with pitstops in such terrifying towns as Castle Rock and Derry, is a (trick or) treat for all of us Constant Readers."--Marcus Errico, Yahoo!
"Less than a dozen pages in and I knew this was everything I had hoped for. Bev Vincent has found a way to celebrate King's complete body of work in a way that feels both academic and casual."--Derry Public Radio - Constant Readers
"Frankly, it's a beautiful book, designed with character and creepiness that enhance the experience without becoming a gimmick or nuisance to reading."--Horror Obsessive
"Holy smokes, what an awesome book...It's a must read for any fan."--Being Fictional

The cover fakes a worn classic in appearance at first glance. Though quality absent paper covering. Accents of typewriter fonts and blood spatter invite speculation of contents.
Inside thick pages full of color photos to fun facts scattered throughout this joy ride of info unknown to me as a more recent fan since reading On Writing a few years ago. Since then consumed a couple dozen stories from horror to what vibes magical realism of suspense in the Billy Hodges Series.
Hearing Mr. King’s story in his words made me curious to read about him from someone else’s assembling.
Recently stumbled upon “Understanding the Dark Tower Universe” in a few minute video on YouTube.
This fan’s explanation in visuals of the connection to Mr. King’s many stories toward the one developed over so many years woven in and out of his entire library of accomplishments gave me a whole new appreciation of what I’ve been missing as a novice of his brilliance.
Growing up with literacy struggles never dreamed of experiencing Mr. King outside of movies. With the help of audio am able to mount the endurance challenges of series and The Stand. Adding intensity by increasing speed of the narrator adds to pacing and enjoyment especially on cross country road trips.
If you enjoy facts and text book style reading bites at a time this will be a fantastic choice.
If you prefer long chapters of words minute captions and headlines of original cover art to photos including everything the subtitle notes: a complete exploration of his work, life, and influences you might not enjoy this so much.
For me, a complete exploration is a bit of a stretch on a man’s life that feels eternal. Like Queen Elizabeth can anyone remember life without Stephen King?
Whether a reader and movie goer or not Mr. King is a part of the world we live. This book is a way to reminisce and learn unfamiliar details.
For me, felt this would give me a broader view of someone I admire for his skill, authenticity, and creativity as a publisher author.
Happy to have this on my shelf for review anytime. Hoping this review encourages consideration if you enjoy Mr. King or not.
I find knowing about a writer adds to them as a published author and peaks interest. No doubt this book will for generations to come.
