In this follow up to Stephen King on the Big Screen, Mark Browning turns his critical eye to the muchneglected subject of the bestselling authors work in television, examining what it is about Kings fiction that makes it particularly suitable for the small screen.By focusing on this body of work, from the highly successful The Stand and The Night Flier to the lesserknown TV films Storm of the Century, Rose Red, Kingdom Hospital, and the 2004 remake of Salems Lot, Browning is able to articulate how these adaptations work and, in turn, suggest new ways of viewing them. This book is the first written by a film specialist to consider Kings television work in its own right, and it rejects previous attempts to make the films and books fit rigid thematic categories. Browning examines what makes a written or visual text successful at evoking fear on a casebycase basis, in a highly readable and engaging way. He also considers the relationship between the big and small screen. Why, for instance, are some TV versions more effective than movie adaptations and vice versa? In the process, Stephen King on the Small Screen is able to shed new light on what it is that makes Kings novels so successful and reveal the elements of style and approach that have helped make King one of the worlds bestselling authors.
