Press Release Summary: Love Stephen King Movies? Stephen King Novels Are Better!
Press Release Body: Stephen King novels are better than watching a two hour movie about the same story. Let's face itEUR we've all read books and then went to see the movie versions. As much as we may enjoy the movie, it's still obvious the book was better. This is because it is impossible to capture all the details from a novel in the time constraints of a movie. Reading a good novel captures the imaginationEUR your mind creates its own pictures, while the situation affects your emotions. They can include all the tiny details that may end up on the cutting room floor of a film. In a novel, you feel like you are a part of the character's life.
Stephen King has been capturing the imaginations of readers around the world since the 1970s. His 47 novels have a strong following, and Stephen shows no signs of retiring. Reading one of his novels helps you understand a little bit how this author ticks. His descriptions reveal a lot about his inspiration and motivation behind his writing.
Take "Salem's Lot," for example. In the story, author Ben Mears returns to his home town to write a book about a house that has haunted him his entire life. When he gets there, he finds the entire town infested with vampires. While it is difficult to get most of the town to believe him, he finds a small group to help him defeat these unearthly predators. Stephen King got the inspiration for this story while teaching a literature class on Fantasy and Science Fiction. Teaching his students about "Dracula," he began to wonder what would happen if a vampire suddenly appeared in America, circa the twentieth century. He placed the story in a sleepy little town, to give the vampires a place to set down a few roots. Having lived in several small towns, Stephen King is familiar with the dynamics of a small town, and how this might work to the vampires' advantage.
In his novel, "Carrie," Stephen King writes the story of a high school girl who just doesn't fit in, either at home or in school. Tormented everywhere she goes, she finally faces a public confrontation at the senior prom. Stephen King created "Carrie" as a combination of girls he grew up with. He also used this story as a platform to show how women find their own channels of power, even when all avenues seem to be closed to them. He also used it to illustrate what men really fear about women and their sexuality. This novel is really very powerful on many different levels.
"Cujo" sprang out of an actual experience. Stephen King took his motorcycle in to be repaired, and this giant St. Bernard was guarding the garage. The mechanic became Joe Cambers in the story, and the rest is history. Reading the story of Donna and her son being trapped in their car by this ominous dog becomes horrifyingly real.
He tried something different and wrote "The Eyes of the Dragon" as a fantasy. In this story, the king is murdered and his son is framed. The prince must battle a wizard and his uncle to regain the throne. Stephen King wrote this for his daughter, who wasn't a fan of horror stories. She did like this one, however. This proves that Stephen King's powers of story-telling go far beyond ghouls and the undead.
