Virtual Adult Lecture: The King of Horror

Stephen King’s Novels, Adaptations, and Thematic Concerns

Bryce Bullins will highlight Stephen King’s extensive bibliography including King’s place within the pantheon of American authors and the ways his distinct brand of horror is uniquely American.

Bryce Bullins is a fourth year PhD candidate at the University of Cincinnati. He teaches courses in horror film, horror and gothic literatures, and composition at the University. His research includes the figure of the double across a variety of mediums and periods, the evolution and intertextuality of gothic and horror in American literature from the late eighteenth-century into the present day, horror theory, and the changing landscape of American horror cinema.

Bullins has previously taught a course on Stephen King in the fall of 2021. Students read a variety of King’s novels and then watched film or television adaptations of the texts, discussed the challenges, changes, and differences between text and screen, and engaged with scholarly work written on both the novels and adaptations.
