Salem’s Lot is a masterful blend of small-town charm and creeping horror. King takes his time building a sense of dread, layering in the history and secrets of the town until the tension becomes almost unbearable. The vampires aren’t just monsters; they embody something far more sinister—a corruption that feels personal. The pacing may be slow for some, but the payoff is chilling and unforgettable. A true classic for any horror fan!

I didn’t know what I was getting into reading this so I can watch the movie when it comes out, but I nearly put too much dip on my chip. You will not catch me reading another SK book. (Unless another actor I like will be in the movie)
