The Horror! The Horror!

Still Shining
Stephen King is one of America's contemporary masters when it comes to delivering horror fiction. His books have sold an estimated 300 million+ copies and his book sale clicker has been beating out a regular rhythm for more than 30 years.

In Lisa Rogak's new book, Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King, we learn more about the man behind the pages turned so quickly over time.

Though die-hard King fans may not find anything new here, those who dabble in popular biographies may enjoy this read. Rogak’s book tells the story of a man who’s struggled personally; a writer who’s influenced American pop-culture, and who writes because he must.
