America's Dark Theologian is an interesting examination of the underlying themes of religion and spirituality in Stephen King's novels. It is a bit of a dry read but at the same time, it offers a fascinating insight into the different levels of Stephen King's work. It does go into detail into his books so will have spoilers for those who have not read Stephen King's books yet.

I unfortunately have to DNF this one, and not because it isn't enjoyable... But because there are spoilers galore!! I am someone who doesn't like to know a single thing going into new reads, and there were quite a few little spoilers here and there and I was only 6 or 7% into the book! I will say that if you are a constant reader who has read every or even the vast majority of King's work, you may very well enjoy this one. It gives some major insights into the more religious aspects of King's work which I was finding very intriguing. I'd definitely say that this is one that any hardcore fan of King's would probably want to have handy once you've finished your collection. I've only given it 3/5 stars for the simple fact that there were spoilers and I just couldn't bare to go on and ruin several books and short stories I've left to read. I definitely see myself adding this to my shelf one day and would absolutely recommend to any constant readers out there, especially if religious theology interests you.… (meer)
