List of Books That
Influenced Stephen King |
|
|
"I suspect each book in the list had an
influence on the books I wrote. ...
These are the ones that worked
for me, that's all. But you could do worse, and a good many of these might
show you some new ways of doing your work. Even if they don't, they're apt
to entertain you. They certainly entertained me." (King, Stephen,
On Writing. pp 426-430.) |
