Skeleton Crew1985

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Skeleton Crew is mercifully non-woke. King's pre-90s horror focuses on tension, storytelling, and flawed characters, no evident push for ideological points, virtue signaling, or forced representation. A breath of non-woke air in the current literary climate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Skeleton Crew is a classic Stephen King collection, written well before the modern wave of identity-driven storytelling. The focus is firmly on suspense and character flaws, not on checking any diversity boxes or pushing modern ideology into the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The stories largely reflect traditional cultural themes, family, fear, morality, without mocking or subverting these ideas. There's no overt reworking of history or snarky deconstruction of tradition. If anything, the stories are more about universal human anxieties.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no sense that only one worldview is allowed. King's stories offer a range of perspectives, heroes, antiheroes, real folks facing supernatural turns, without turning dissenters into cartoon villains.
