Secret Windows : Essays And Fiction On The Craft Of Writing by Stephen King is an exclusive Book-of-the-month Club anthology of hard to find non fiction pieces, little known interview, short stories, and articles about writing for those looking for direction on how to find their own "windows" - or for anyone wishing to be touched by King's humor and wisdom.
Included in this collection are unpublished early fiction (very early, King was twelve when he wrote "Jumper" and "Rush Call")
a pre "Carrie" article with tips for selling stories to men's magazines "The Horror Writer and The Ten Bears - A True Story", advice to his son on writing (with the look twice title "Great Hookers I Have Known", recommendations to teen readers in a seventeen article "What Stephen King Does For Love", a long chapter from his wonderful treatise on the horror genre "Horror Fiction" from Danse Macabre, and even a first time in print short story "In The Deathroom"
Intended as a companion to Stephen King's book On Writing, Secret windows captures the author's mind in action - spontaneous, subversive, quirky, yet morally and ethically serious. In his introduction, King's friend and collaborator Peter Straub praises King's "startling immediacy...(He) seems to drift up from the page and wrap an arm over the reader's shoulders".
I have not got this book either so cannot make comment.
