| SECRET WINDOWS | ||||||||||||||
| Essays and fiction on the craft of writing | ||||||||||||||
| 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 thought. They look out of an almost forgotten window at an angle that renders the common extraordinary. | ||||||||||||||
| Included in this collection are unpublished early fiction (very early: King was twelve when he wrote "Jumper" and the "Rush Call"); a pre carrie article with tips for selling stories to men's magazines ("The Horror Writer and the Ten Bears: A true story") advise 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). | ||||||||||||||
