About this listen
Uncover the theories behind the master of horror's macabre tales: It, The Shining, Carrie, Cujo, Misery, Pet Semetary, and so much more!
Gothic media moguls Meg Hafdahl and Kelly Florence, authors of The Science of Monsters and The Science of Women in Horror, and co-hosts of the Horror Rewind podcast called “the best horror film podcast out there” by Film Daddy, present a guide to the Stephen King stories and characters we all know and love. Through interviews, literary and film analysis, and bone-chilling discoveries, The Science of Stephen King delves into the uniquely horrific Stephen King universe to uncover the science behind the legendary novels that have become an integral part of modern pop culture, answering such questions as:
- What is the science behind time travel and parallel universes like in The Dark Tower series and 11/22/63?
- How does lack of sleep affect the human body like in Insomnia?
- Is it possible for horrific creatures to exist like in Nightshift?
- What is the science behind curses and legends like in Dreamcatcher and Thinner?
Join Kelly and Meg as they learn if we all really do float down here!

I enjoyed every moment, as I felt the authors have done their research. It was easy for me to follow along even though I haven't all of King's novels. I liked how all the questions were taken seriously by the author. Even the ones that are more metaphysical than from natural sciences.
I felt that the science behind was a bit too superficial for my taste, hence my 3 stars.
