My last indulgence was Stephen King’s 1975 novel ’Salem’s - TopicsExpress



          

My last indulgence was Stephen King’s 1975 novel ’Salem’s Lot. King conceived the book as a modern American version of Dracula, and his 20th-century incarnation of the infamous count is a mysterious antique dealer who intends to make a legion of the undead out of the unsuspecting citizens of a village in rural Maine. As a vampire tale, it holds up remarkably well, even in today’s post-Twilight literary culture; King’s bloodsuckers are unabashedly monstrous and sufficiently creepy, the characters are realistic and compelling, and the plot is paced at just the right speed . . . .
