Stephen King's books have sold over 400 million copies in 30 languages, and have been the source for over 100 films and television programs. His uncanny ability to entertain while scaring the daylights out of readers drives this phenomenal success, but at the heart of his best work is a deep-seated awareness of the very real anxieties about life in America and the state of the nation at large.
Tony Magistrale is professor and chair of the English department at the University of Vermont.
