King's vampires 😲
Ben Mears is a writer that is returning to his hometown Jerusalem's lot after 25 years of being gone. He is coming home to write a book about the infamous Marsten House which has changed owners since he last graced the town with his presence. The new owner happens to be a vampire! Will Ben, his new friend Matt, and his new love interest Susan ever make it out of Salem's Lot alive? Ugh, King, King, King... sometimes you hit it and sometimes you miss it. This one was a miss for me which it's a little distressing because it happens to be Stephen King's favorite novel that he has written. Not to mention the subject matter is one of my favorites. However for some reason this book and I just did not click. I wanted so much to like this book and I gave it my best shot. The book is not badly written. It is written in the normal Stephen King style and is easy to follow the storyline. However also in the normal Stephen King style, there is tons of extra information that aren't really necessary for the story. This is what dragged me down with this book. The extra information just made it monotonous for me to read. I will say that I did however like the cliffhanger at the end. Very nicely done. If you like Stephen King and vampires you will probably like this book.
