According to the writer’s blurb in The Spirit of Writing (below), Stephen King’s books have sold over 100 million copies. A recent study from Popular Press (The Gothic World of Stephen King), states that his popularity “lies in his ability to reinterpret the standard Gothic tale in new and exciting ways.” But King also writes about the “little murders” — the insults and indignities — that occur in everyday life, translating them (as we sometimes do when they happen to us) into a melodramatic netherworld of the horrific and bizarre. Anyone who went to public high school in a small town can identify with Carrie’s sense of powerlessness in trying to deal with her weird mother and who, faced with rude drivers and road rage, wouldn’t just love to have a car like Christine? King has become Everyman’s Walter Mitty, and his books represent a welcome outlet for our anxieties and frustrations in coping with an unstable world.
