	Danse Macabre (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Danse Macabre is a nonfiction book by Stephen King on horror fiction and United States pop culture.
		Examining influences on his writing, it focuses on films and novels of the genre from a fan 's perspective, discussing archetypes, narrative devices, and "the psychology of terror."
		This article about a non-fiction book is a stub.

	The Virtual Bookcase, Reviews of 'Stephen King's Danse Macabre'
		Well the book is a dark fantasy, and the first chapter is about old friends meeting at a bar and one of the guys does a magic card trick.
		But DANSE MACABRE, his book-length essay on horror in pop culture, is like the seed-bed of everything I later came to dislike about King: a rambling conversational style, half Aesthete and half Reg'lar Folks and inauthentic as either; shameless name-dropping and boosterism; and a relentlessly middlebrow worldview powering the vehicle.
		Lazy, jokey and even bad writing fills DANSE MACABRE from stem to stern, King trying to be both hip and square on every page; a completely unsatisfying compromise that reads as awkwardly now as office-workers must've looked in their tie-and-jeans ensembles on the first Casual Fridays.

		La Danse Macabre, also called Dance of death, La Danza Macabra, or Totentanz, is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death.
		La Danse Macabre consists of the personified Death leading a row of dancing figures from all walks of life to the grave —typically with an emperor, king, pope, monk, youngster, beautiful girl, all in skeleton -state; the best-known Danses Macabres are frescos in French and German churches.
		Danse Macabre is the name of Opus 40 by Camille Saint-Saëns, written in 1874.

	Danse Macabre
		Macabre is a French word that makes its first known appearance in the fourteenth century, in a fragmented poem by Jean Le Fevre; Je fis de Macabre la danse.
		Macabre was a word created to describe the interaction of the dead, or death, with the living, and with this uncanny shudder retains this use to this day.
		Death and the danse macabre are superb examples of the Church or whatever authority, adopting and formalising a strong local image for their purpose, which of course is what happened in Wallachia.

		Danse Macabre was written in 1980, and was in some ways a King response to both media criticism of him and to share his thoughts in a classroom like setting.
		This is an incredibly informative book, and fascinating to anyone who is curious about horror stories that carry a bit of a historical perspective.
		Let us just address the cover of this book from the beginning; it is a dark blue, with an intensely spooky drawing of king’s face, as though a flashlight from underneath lighted it.

		The Danse Macabre depicts the inevitability of death.
		One of the most popular visual renditions of the Danse Macabre is Hans Holbein the Younger's series of woodcuts called Pictures of Death, published in 1538.
		It is this book and its historical origins that inspired Eileen's modern version of the Danse Macabre.

		On the classic theme of the Danse Macabre, or Totentanz, I created this box that includes a papercutting scene of the danse as well as a set of dialogues on individual pieces of paper.
		The book was made in an edition of three and the papercutting was recut for each.
		Inside each booklet is the Danse macabre scene as well as the text of the dialogues.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dance of Death
		There is no evidence that Holbein ever cut a block himself, and when these were issued it was expressly stated that the artist or engraver, who is now generally accepted as Hans Lütszelberger, one of the greatest of German engravers, was dead.
		The designs appear to have been cut on the wood eleven years before the book was published, and their issue was probably held back by reason of the unsettled state of religious opinion in Basle.
		There are five sets of proof impressions in existence, and the little book passed through nine editions at Lyons and was printed also in Venice, Augsburg, and Basle.

		This book is an interesting look at the growing pains of one of the greatest cities in the world, with fully three-dimensional characters and early perspectives and theories of psychology, criminal profiling, and investigative techniques.
		Unlike that movie, however, this book really conveys a sense of old time New York during the turn of the century.
		Carr not only utilizes the budding sciences of criminal psychology and forensics, but he presents each method as seen through the eyes of those living in the 1890's when both were considered new developments.

		I mistakenly purchased this book believing it to be another piece of horror writing in the same vein as many other great King novels.
		This book is King's dissection of the horror genre between the years 1950-80.
		What it also did (and this is true of all of King's books) was provide a springboard to other authors; at the back is a list of films and books that he feels have given something to horror, which is a great reference if you are stuck for something to read or watch.

	Danse Macabre
		The weakest portion of the book is Chapter 9, "Horror Fiction," 135 pages devoted to only ten books that "seem representative of everything in the genre that is fine," most of which you have probably never read.
		The strongest part of the book is, quite simply, the rest of it.
		Overall, this is an excellent study of all things horror, but unfortunately was written in 1981 and so is missing more than 2 decades of material.

		That's fair enough--this book is as much an account of what makes horror interesting for King as it is about the horror genre--but it leaves me wanting more.
		It might help to enjoy DANSE MACABRE if you are a horror fiction/film fanatic, but then again, it might just make you one even if you're not--it had that effect on me. I tried to see as many of the films and read as many of the books he discussed as I could.
		The stated goal of the book is cover Horror from 1950 to 1980.

	CD Baby: BARTHOLOMEW FAIRE: The Red Book
		The Red Book features all ten songs from Montserrat Monastery Library's Manuscript #1, popularly called Llibre Vermell ("The Red Book") because of the red velvet cover given to the codex during the late 19th century.
		The songs in this remarkable medieval manuscript were written down during the late 14th century, selected by the monks of Montserrat as being appropriate for the pilgrims who made their way to the shrine to the Virgin Mary there.
		Since this was a time when dancing was an acceptable form of worship, the manuscript indicates several of these songs as 'round dances' and are played as such with the usual Bartholomew Faire aplomb: driving rhythms, arcane instruments, flights of improvisational ornamentation and lusty vocals.

		Nevertheless, if you're interested in how and why horror fiction in books, movies, TV and, to a lesser extent, radio retains its popularity and you want to know why we should carry on reading and watching it, 'Danse Macabre' comes highly reccommended.
		Do not read this book if you expect it to be a horror novel, it is really an in-depth look at horror books, films, and TV.
		King does use autobiographical elements to make the book interesting, and most of his views and interpretations are interesting as well.

		I have been reading through "Danse Macabre" again, looking for ideas for a reading list for a class on Modern Fantasy in which Horror literature is a large component.
		Certainly King will provoke students of horror into some sort of a response, and if you were to use the book as it now stands you might even be able to get the cherubs to extend King's analysis or fill in the gaps given the past twenty years of horror in film, literature and television.
		"Danse Macabre" is both a lot of fun and a great study of an often misunderstood genre.

		The first SK book I ever read was IT when I was five and to this day I am horribly scared of clowns.
		For reasons I'd rather not go into I can't stomache books with rape/torture scenes especially if they are very graphic and drawn out and I found King to be relying on these types of scenes more and more in recent years for, I assume, shock value.
		I've read all the DT books several times (Gunslinger, Drawing, Waste, and Wizard prolly 5 or more times each) and there is no way that your young friend has uncovered all of the nuances and details that come out upon rereading.
