Episode One - Carrie w/Professor Mark Jancovich

The Constant Reader Podcast - The Canon of Stephen King

We kick off the Constant Reader Podcast with an in-depth look at Stephen King's bloodstained debut, 1974's Carrie. We look at the Gothic roots of a very modern tale, the sexual politics and the political paranoia of the time that turned Carrie into a worldwide hit and sent Stephen King on a career trajectory that would see him become the world's best selling writer.

Mark Jancovich is the author of Horror (Batsford 1992), one of the best books written on the genre, and has been published extensively in film journals, books and anything else you care to mention. His blog is here http://fantasticfilmtv.com/
