Salem's Lot

Another classic by the masters of horror. In this novel a small town with small problems hear new residents and a author visiting. The author has come back home to write a novel about his childhood town with a horror spin. Little does he know that horror is about to meet him. The town starts to have deaths and bodies go missing. Salem’s lot has vampires who are going to take over the town unless someone does something. Unlikely heroes find each other and try to save there town.

"And in the dark, the town is yours and you are the town's and together you sleep like the dead, like the very stones in your north field. There is no life here but the slow death of days, and so when the evil falls on the town, its coming seems almost preordained, sweet and morphic. It is almost as though the town knows the evil was coming and the shape it would take."

Really did not like it. I usually like King and their writing and story telling ability, but this one did not seem to deliver on any front.I see what they were trying to do in terms of describing a creepy small town, but way too many people to remember or get invested into and the overall vampire thing felt a bit underdeveloped.Failed

Il libro con la sua mole di pagine fa fatica a decollare. Ci vuole molta pazienza prima di riuscire a finirlo. Le ultime 100 pagine sono molto belle e scorrono benissimo, ma quanta fatica prima di arrivarci. Sincereamente mi aspettavo di meglio, ma alcune scene sono davvero forti!
