Reviews
Rowman & Littlefield has . . . released an extraordinary hardcover tome that delves deeply into several of King's lesser known works particularly from 2009 - 2013. It's called...deep breath...Stephen King's Contemporary Classics: Reflections on the Modern Master of Horror. It is a collection of essays written by various authors and examines books such as Dr. Sleep, Duma Key, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Joyland, Under the Dome and others. The essays are scholarly and thought provoking. Each author takes on the project with a great deal of passion which comes through in their writing. . . .The book will surely be of interest to fans of King, especially hardcore fans. . . . [It] will interest people who like to tear a story apart and see how and why it works. . . .If you must own all things King then you must add this hardcover book to your collection. I dare say even Mr. King will be astonished when he sees how his stories have been inspected, dissected and examined. Who knows, he may even learn a bit about himself and what must be going on inside his mind! All kidding aside this is an insightful set of essays to read and discuss with your fellow King fans. Stephen King's Contemporary Classics will get you thinking., The volume is a welcome addition. As the editors note in the introduction, academic criticism of Stephen King's work tends to focus on his early works. The editors here capture scholarship on King's newer works that tends to show up at conferences but often wouldn't find purchase in the more durable academic record. In that light, much of the material in this collection is best thought of as a first foray into new territory.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
