eBook
Stephen King in the New Millennium
2018
Overview
This exciting exploration of Stephen King's digital writing maneuvers and electronic ventures on online platforms and e-readers unravels the author's latest writing techniques and justifies his unprecedented success in the new millennium. It investigates the latest additions to the Master of Horror's \"toolbox\" by studying King's media presence and writing oeuvre in the twenty-first century through online projects, such as his videogame Discordia. The book closely traces King's shifts from print to the digital as he crafts his stories to share with his constant readers. Its examination of King's re-vitalized Gothic sheds light on his shift towards new realizations that take into consideration the needs and tastes of the contemporary consuming public in a constant dialogue with their contemporary fears and anxieties.While exploring King's literary generic and technological crossovers, the book stresses the need for an encompassing theory that takes into account literary tradition, norms, and motifs adjusted according to the materialities and technological specificities of each medium in specific socio-cultural and economic contexts.
