On Horror: Stephen King reviews Joyce Carol Oates

Stephen King reviewed The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates (who reads tonight in Saratoga) this past May in the  New York Times Book Review:

“Joyce Carol Oates has written what may be the world’s first postmodern Gothic novel: E. L. Doctorow’s ‘Ragtime’ set in Dracula’s castle. It’s dense, challenging, problematic, horrifying, funny, prolix and full of crazy people. You should read it. I wish I could tell you more.”
