'Salem's Lot

When I first picked up this book at a used book store, I was surprised at how many pages it was. But then it was a Stephen King book, after all. As I began to read, many of those pages went by and the story seemed to be moving at a crawl. I was thinking this will be a three-star read at best. Just a redo of the classic "Dracula".
Then I began to fall under its spell. The pace picked up and the writing was amazing. Then I was in a trance seeing nothing but a five-star book ahead. Count Stephen had made me a believer.
A modern day Dracula story.

One of the truly great vampire stories
Mark wrote: "One of the truly great vampire stories"I read "Dracula" last October and that was my first venture into reading vampire stories. I'm not a fan of that genre, but King's book was far better.
Nice review of one of early Stephen King's gems.

That is why he is a big name, because of his writing, and not just because his name is easy to remember! 😉
