Salem's Lot

Stephen King is a wonderful writer and i enjoy reading many of his books. Though Salem's Lot was a bit long to read in the span of a week. His books like Salem's Lot are they kind that you have to dedicate yourself to. Which is not hard to do since it is a book that holds on doesn't let go. It takes a while to get to any sort of vampire, the majority of the book is all about the town and the people in it. There are people in the city which you almost don't care if they are killed or not. As a reader you see the underbelly of this small town and how people can be monsters just as easily as a vampire can. King's vampires range from this sophisticated personality to a newly awakened dead that acts more animalistic than human. Both versions are equally as creepy to me and I think it is because the way he writes. This book makes you feel like you know this town and could have lived in it. When the characters heart's are racing from fear, yours races as well.
