Episode Two - Salem's Lot w/Steph McKenna of the National Centre for Writing
from The Constant Reader Podcast - The Canon of Stephen King · host Richard Sheppard
Stephen King's second novel, Salem's Lot, not only conquered the 'difficult second book' syndrome with style, it went down in culture as THE modern vampire novel. I was lucky enough to sit down with Steph McKenna from the Thirst Podcast and the National Writer's Centre, as we sink our teeth into the Middlemarch of horror fiction. Apologies to Steph for calling the National Centre for Writing the Norwich Centre for Writing two times, she was kind enough not to mention it during the interview.
