Stephen King on the Small Screen

<p>In this follow up to <em>Stephen King on the Big Screen</em> (2009) Mark Browning turns his critical eye upon the much-neglected subject of the best-selling author's work in television examining what it is about King's fiction that makes it particularly suitable for the small screen. By focusing on this body of work from ratings successes <em>The Stand</em> and <em>The Night Flier</em> to lesser- known TV films <em>Storm of the Century</em> (1999) <em>Rose Red</em> (2002) <em>Kingdom Hospital</em> (2003) and the 2004 remake of <em>Salem's Lot</em> Browning is able to articulate how these adaptations work and in turn suggest new ways of viewing them. </p>
