Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King by Caroline Bicks ~ a Review

by MK French

Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives. Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works—The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, 'Salem's Lot, and Night Shift—to reveal how he crafted his language, storylines, and characters. We see King’s margin notes and editorial changes, scenes, and alternative endings that never made it to print. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history.

17 Must Read Mysteries from the Past Decade

by Donna Huber

I read a lot of mysteries and thrillers. Even before I started attending a local mystery book club, it was one of my go-to genres. Susan also reads a lot of mysteries and thrillers. Goodreads recently published 136 Reader-Approved Mysteries & Thrillers of the Past Decade, and I thought it would be fun to see how many we had read - 17 books! (I included books I read but didn't review on the site for myself, but Susan's recommendations are based on those she has reviewed on this site.)
