This list has been created with great use and help of Justin Brooks’ exhaustive bibliography. However, it is not entirely complete, and in a few places, perhaps (surely) not entirely correct.
I’m awaiting photocopies of the two extra addendums to Justin’s bibliography, so this list will eventually be updated and corrected, and the same goes for every time King publishes a nonfiction piece – outside of Entertainment Weekly, that is. I haven’t listed any of the stand-alone pieces or Pop of King columns in EW, since it’s already being done on this side. I also decided to leave out all the forewords, afterwords, introductions, etc. to/in his own work. The same goes for Internet-only publications. I figured all you King know-it-alls are well aware of the various letters and notes he has posted, say, on his own site. I also excluded all the Danse Macabre and On Writing excerpts, except those changed/rewritten by King himself. You will also stumble upon a few ultra-rare pieces and curiosities that nobody can get their sweaty hands on (unless they are extremely lucky or manage to build themselves a time machine to travel back and snatch, say, a copy of The Village Vomit), mainly because I couldn’t resist it. Should anyone feel the urge to continue this list, to add to it, to correct it, whatever – especially those of you who have the two addendums to Justin’s book – then go ahead. Even though I worked my ass off, I practically ripped off Justin’s book, so it ain’t really mine when it comes down to it. We can be together on this, if you so desire.
Final word: This one - * - has been added to the pieces or the appearances of the pieces I own myself, either as actual photocopies or as text versions (or if I have them in a Castle Rock Newsletter or in Secret Windows). Just a little nod to any interested traders here.

Enjoy.

Danse Macabre (2010 Reprint Edition)
by Stephen King
Featuring the brand new essay "What's Scary" by Stephen King!

Publisher: Pocket Books
Format #1: Trade Paperback, $17.00
Format #2: Audio CD, $29.99

About the Book:
Long before he gave us "a one-of-a-kind classic" (The Wall Street Journal) with his bestselling memoir On Writing, Stephen King crafted a nonfiction masterpiece in Danse Macabre, "one of the best books on American popular culture" (Philadelphia Inquirer).

The author whose boundless imagination and storytelling powers have redefined the horror genre, from 1974's Carrie to his new epic Under the Dome, reflects on the very nature of terror — what scares us and why — in films (both cheesy and choice), television and radio, and, of course, the horror novel, past and present.

Informal, engaging, tremendous fun, and tremendously informative, Danse Macabre is an essential tour with the master of horror as your guide; much like his spellbinding works of fiction, you won't be able to put it down.

This new trade paperback edition also features a brand new long essay entitled "What's Scary" by Stephen King, in which the King of Horror shares his deepest fears with the world.

Interesting. "What's Scary" is the title of the two-part essay currently running in FANGORIA. I just picked up the Feb. issue yesterday to get Part 2. It sounds like it is being reprinted in this book so it is not really "new" in the strictest sense since it has been published before.

It's a really good essay, though. I enjoyed it.

Ari_Racing
01-28-2010, 01:51 PM
I loved Danse Macabre and the question I was planning to ask at the Times event last november was if King considered writing an "updated" version of the book.

Mr. Rabbit Trick
05-05-2010, 10:46 PM
For those who "collect" non-fiction, this is a response from King to a question posted on his message board.

Question:
One of the sub-characters in Duma Key was the prohibition whiskey/rum runner/gambler named Dave..something or other..(Sorry, I can't remember)...and he met his fate in some "mysterious manner"..Anyhow, as I recall in the notes, King said the character was based on an actual person of the same name (I think.)

I'd like to do a little research on this guy, just because I enjoy reading about people whom have had adventurous lives. Would it be possible for you to provide a bit of insight as to his proper name, approximate lifespan, and perhaps where I could find out a bit on him ?

Response:
David P. Davis was the creator of Davis Islands, a Tampa enclave built during the Roaring 20s. He was also into radio, and probably influenced America's 20s art deco craze. He made fortunes, lost fortunes, bedded beautiful women, gambled, and died under circumstances I'll let the interested party discover!!

I really wish they'd publish that new Danse Macabre in hardcover. I never knew this, but leafing through it in Barnes & Noble, it turns out the first edition that I have has numerous errors that have been corrected in subsequent editions, and this new edition even collects all previous introduction by King of which there are, like, three, or something. It's a really cool book; too bad it's a paperback.

For those who "collect" non-fiction, this is a response from King to a question posted on his message board.

Question:
One of the sub-characters in Duma Key was the prohibition whiskey/rum runner/gambler named Dave..something or other..(Sorry, I can't remember)...and he met his fate in some "mysterious manner"..Anyhow, as I recall in the notes, King said the character was based on an actual person of the same name (I think.)

I'd like to do a little research on this guy, just because I enjoy reading about people whom have had adventurous lives. Would it be possible for you to provide a bit of insight as to his proper name, approximate lifespan, and perhaps where I could find out a bit on him ?

I recently discovered that I own a copy of this fan magazine from the 1980s, Chernobog #18, the special Stephen King issue. It contains King's "The Fright Report" from the January 1986 Oui and "Not Guilty--" from the October 24, 1976 New York Times Book Review. I just wish I could remember when and from whom I got it and how much I paid for it.

I was actually looking for that zine, John. I've been browsing the Non-fiction book a bit lately and I saw this and remembered seeing it on eBay some time ago... but it is nowhere to be found right now.

It is very scarce since it was an amateur fanzine and only 60 copies were done. A couple of years ago the publisher, Al Bradford, did a second printing that he sold on eBay for about $5 or so. His eBay username is: grud.al

If you are interested contact him through eBay.

The only difference is the illustration on the rear cover. Al couldn't find his original drawing after all these years and substituted something else.

Both have illustrations for "Sometimes They Come Back" on the rear cover. The original printing has a hand drawing that is very amateurish looking. The second printing utilizes a movie poster type reproduction that has the "Trimark" logo in the lower right corner.

I guess I have the second printing. At least that explains where I got it (eBay!). And for $5--not bad!

I suppose this is a new non-fiction piece. Answer from King to a question on SKMB.

(MOD)
I've been meaning to ask Steve for years now to give his explanation for why the sex scene was included in IT. Better late than never as the saying goes, so here it is at long last in his own words:

(KING)
I wasn't really thinking of the sexual aspect of it. The book dealt with childhood and adulthood --1958 and Grown Ups. The grown ups don't remember their childhood. None of us remember what we did as children--we think we do, but we don't remember it as it really happened. Intuitively, the Losers knew they had to be together again. The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood. It's another version of the glass tunnel that connects the children's library and the adult library. Times have changed since I wrote that scene and there is now more sensitivity to those issues.

More non-fiction from (Marcie) King... (He's named after a Saint!)

A Letter From Stephen

A KINGDOM UPDATE


This is just a note to thank the loyal subjects who have sent in pictures of my kingdom. All the accompanying captions are witty, and some are falling-down-funny. Keep them coming! You will soon see the results, I hope, in a slide-show that illuminates many odd corners of my wonderful (if often shadowy) realm. My ego has been completely re-inflated, and I think I’m ready to face any mean reviews and nuclear blogs that may appear when Full Dark, No Stars comes out in November. Instead of feeling downhearted, I’ll just remind myself of my funkadelic kingdom full of car washes, bars, restaurants, billboards…even a bottle of royal rug cleaner!

Several of you have sent in pix of various St. Stephen’s churches, and I thought you might be amused to know I was actually named after that saint. But the name didn’t come up until my mom was actually in labor. Remember, this was back in the medical stone age, before all that ultrasound stuff. The doctors assured my mother that I was going to be female, because my fetal heartbeat was 160 (anything over 140 was supposed to be a girl). Mom decided to call me Martha. Then, late in the pregnancy, she amended that a little. Constant Readers, I was almost Marcia King. Consider the awesomeness of the concept: The Stand, by Marcia King!

But enough pointless speculation; back to my story. Mom goes into labor. Eighteen hours, maybe twenty. Screaming her head off, smoking her way through a whole pack of Kools. The doctor finally resorted to forceps. Yanked me out (and you wonder why I have gruesome ideas—you would, too, if you were rudely pulled from your nice warm cave)! But before those cruel forceps came into play, while the labor was still going on, my Aunt Molly asked Mom what she was going to call me if, against all odds, I turned out to be a boy.

Mom thought for all of two minutes, long enough for another contraction to hit. Then she groaned, “I’ll call him Stephen, after the early Christian who was pressed to death by stones. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE!”
Thus I became a Steve instead of a Marcy, and thanks to all my good friends at StephenKing.com, I have the world’s funkiest kingdom.

One last thing—did you guys see my bowling alley?

Nice, huh? Very…striking.
