- Double-weighted statement
- The book is based on 30 years of research into the works of Stephen King and their adaptations. Brown draws upon a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, including unpublished screenplays held in the Stephen King Collection at the University of Maine. The work is the first monograph to analyse 40 years of King adaptations specifically in relation to the cinematic and television horror genre, broadening the concept of adaptation to address the importance of genre and generic context, and considering how the almost unprecedented number of King adaptations have impacted upon and shaped the modern screen horror genre.
