Newly revised for 21st-century readers, the author - an ordained but fallen exorcist - tells all about the evil eye, the queer eye, women and witch trials, the Old Religion, magic Christianity, Satanism, and New Age self-help.
In a thoughtful, well-informed study exploring fiction from throughout Stephen King''s immense oeuvre, Heidi Strengell shows how this popular writer enriches his unique brand of horror by building on the traditions of his literary heritage. Tapping into the wellsprings of the gothic to reveal contemporary phobias, King invokes the abnormal and repressed sexuality of the vampire, the hubris of Frankenstein, the split identity of the werewolf, the domestic melodrama of the ghost tale. Drawing on myths and fairy tales, he creates characters who, like the heroic Roland the Gunslinger and the villainous Randall Flagg, may either reinforce or subvert the reader''s childlike faith in society. And, in the manner of the naturalist tradition, he reinforces a tension between the free will of the individual and the daunting hand of fate.
