Caroline Bicks, the inaugural Stephen E. King Chair of Literature at the University of Maine, returns to continue our conversation about her new book, Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King. Caroline reveals her own terrifying fears and shares the kind of book she did not want to write; how she dared to infuse her academic writing with (gasp!) personality; her desire to become a bridge that connects King to the Renaissance to academia and back again; why anyone would want to sleep in room 217; the prospect of reading King aloud at bedtime to your kids; some surprising love for King’s underrated zombie novel Cell; and the most horrifying moment in cinema from the last thirty years. (Length 32:02) (Above photo: Austin Tichenor's King shelfie. Used by permission.)
