Secret Windows by Stephen King
Used | Hardcover
One day, while in his laundry room, Stephen King squeezed behind his dryer, looked out of a window, and realized that he was seeing a garden that he’d never noticed before. This is what great writers do, he though. They look out of an almost forgotten window at an angle that renders the common extraordinary.
Secret Windows: Essays and Fiction on the Craft of Writing is an exclusive anthology of hard-to-find non-fiction pieces, little-known interviews, short stories, and articles about writing for those looking for direction on how to find their own “windows”—or for anyone wishing to be touched by Stephen King’s humor and wisdom.
Included in this collection are unpublished early fiction (very early; King was twelve when he wrote “Jumper” and “Rush Call”); a pre-Carrie article with tips for selling stories to men’s magaines (“The Horror Writer and the Ten Bears: A True Story”); advice to his son on writing (with the look-twice title “Great Hookers I Have Known”); recommendations to teen readers in a Seventeen article (“What Stephen King Does for Love”); a long chapter from his wonderful treatise on the horror genre (“Horror Fiction” from Danse Macabre); and even a first-time-in-print short story, “In the Deathroom” (just for fun).
