'Salem's Lot, Stephen King
BOOK
Why I Read It: I wanted to read a vampire novel, and this one sounded the most interesting.
Rating: 4/5
The title 'Salem's Lot refers to the town of Jerusalem's Lot, not Salem, Mass., like I had originally thought. I had hoped it would include some witchcraft lore in with the vampire story, but aparently not. Ben Mears grew up in a small town, but left shortly after a terrifying experience in the house on the hill, towering over the town. Now, just as he comes back, strange things begin occuring in the town of Jerusalem's Lot. Could it be that a great evil actually does inhabit the Marsten house?
This was good vampire lore, sticking to the facts just wonderfully. I would reccomend this book to someone who is interested in classic vampire tales, not the mutilations thereof that RL Stine passes off as literature. But I don't have a grudge.
