Stars: 5 out of 5
Review:
I found the insight and philosophical issues address in in
many of Stephen Kings book interesting and this story. From Carrie to
the Dark Tower series each book deal with the horrifying and often
supernal side of the human mind. IF you get past the imaginary of
Stephen King you find he write about the human condition and how people
react to the unknown. Each Novel brings up questions we all much find
answers for ourselves.
This book dives into those questions and answer we have to find and justify. This book has a look at the different series and books written by Stephen King and the questions he sends out to readers as they find themselves pulled from word to word. A questions is brought out is Stephen King another philological like Aristotle and Plato using words to imaginary to help the human mind discover what they need to find out for themselves.
FYI if you haven't reads some of Stephen King Novels this will ruin some of those stories and plots. So read with cautions.
Received Advance Copy from Netgalley.

Sysnpsis:
Haunting us with such unforgettable stories as The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, Salem s Lot, Carrie, The Green Mile, and Pet Sematary, Stephen King has been an anchor of American horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers, and suspense for more than forty years. His characters have brought chills to our spines and challenged our notions of reality while leaving us in awe of the perseverance of the human spirit. The first book in the new Great Authors and Philosophy series, Stephen King and Philosophy reveals some of the deeper issues raised by King s work. From retribution, freedom, and moral relativity, to death and insanity, the chapters of this book expose how King s stories access the questions and fears that haunt each of us in the middle of the night."
