pickThis definitely gets a pick from me, and I‘m glad I read the climax of the book during broad daylight! 😱 It was a little slow getting going but once I finally got hooked, it was hard to put it down. 4.5⭐️ for me, as I feel like the first 200 pages or so are bogged down with too many characters, which gets confusing. Regardless, I‘d highly recommend this!
#StephenKing
Stephen King really took his time to set up the characters and atmosphere of the town in this book. It creates suspense not just for the character, but around them as well. It shows the reader that danger is everywhere and anything could happen when they least expect it to.
"They did not look out their windows. No matter what noises or dreadful possibilities, no matter how awful the unknown, there was an even worse thing: to look the Gorgon in the face."

#ChillingPhotoChallenge #scarahlon #TeamStoker #7 Read a book with a vampire in it. The book has a vampire in it and fits the team theme.
“There was something about the atmosphere of this place that took the heart out of you and made you no good”
“It was from her spinal cord, a much older network of nerves and ganglia, that the black dread emanated in waves”
pickI‘ve had a hit-or-miss experience with a Stephen King: I enjoyed The Shining and Pet Semetary (and slept with the hall light on for days afterwards both times!), but slogged through The Stand and It. Salem‘s Lot started out slowly for me, but once I hit 100 pages I felt sucked into the story and raced through close to 500 pages in an afternoon. I will be sleeping with the hall light on again tonight!
pickThis was good but I can‘t say it scared me. It was intense in sections and I liked the characters. #TeamSlaughter #scarathlon

Salem's Lot came to my mind immediately.

And so the argument was begun, progressing more in the silences than in the speeches, like a chess game played by mail.
The main protagonist, Benjamin Mears, seems to be a mystery of a person. Stephen King provides very little information about the character other than that he is a writer and he has suffered a recent tragedy of some kind. He at first seems like an average guy, but further into the story he starts to reveal more dark and disturbing information about himself and his past.
pickI can officially say I have added another book of Stephen King‘s that I really enjoyed! I had some creepy-ass dreams while reading this too 😱 (pic was from this morning... when I felt like I was stuck in the 70ish %)
The Dark Tower series were the first Stephen King books I read and Salem‘s Lot was of course mentioned. I absolutely loved those books and I‘m super excited to start this one. I am nervous about the scare factor but here goes 😱 #TeamSlaughter #scarathlon
@Clwojick
Some quintessential #horror reads from the quintessential horror writer. If I finish Dracula in a timely manner I am hoping to get to the tagged book before the end of the month.

pickI love Salem‘s Lot. I read it when I was 10 in one night. Freaked me out but I couldn‘t stop reading until I knew the end. An all time favorite. Re-reading this book was like a walk down memory lane. All the old friends are there and even though it‘s 2019 the book hasn‘t aged a bit for me. This was the book I read before the first three Dark Tower books and it still affects me the same way. I‘m grateful time has been kind to the narrative.
1. Salem‘s Lot (scariest Stephen King book I‘ve ever read, so far)
2. Teleportation

so-soI‘ve been thinking about reading a Stephen King novel for a while now (the last I read was The Green Mile in ... 2000?). I was choosing between ‘Salem‘s Lot and It, and since It is 1100 freakin‘ pages long, I chose this one and was disappointed. I powered through it because King makes the pages fly, but I felt like he was much more interested in the peccadilloes of the community than building any sense of dread for at least the first half.
Perfect day. Reading ‘Salems Lot and eating Cheese and Onion crisps sandwiches. Haven‘t had one of these since I left Ireland. Bliss!
Re-reading the illustrated version of this. The first Stephen King book I ever read. It‘s like coming back to an old friend. 📚📖
pickAs the author of a vampire hunter series, I‘ve felt a little guilty for not reading ‘Salem‘s Lot sooner. It‘s a slow wind up, but once things go to crap, it‘s fast. I love how King makes Barlow a worthy antagonist. Even when the protagonists make seemingly clever moves, he‘s a step ahead, and it made sense he would be with his experience. That makes the ending a bit of a letdown, for me, but it‘s still a brilliant vampire novel. #vampires
pickWhat can I say??? If your local library has the audio version... borrow it and listen to the book. It‘s more fun and scary to listen than reading the physical book. #horror
Reusing a pic from Insta, hope that isn‘t blasphemy! There have been multiple discussion lately in some book groups I‘m in about the old ‘hardcover vs paperback‘ debate. I‘m a collector, I love alternate covers, I‘ve got special editions, and signed books, but I love stocking up on cheap paperbacks to huck in my purse and drag around with me everywhere. What about you guys? Hardcover vs paperback? Or e-reader all the way?
YES!!!! Right up my alley as I continue my #expandedDT journey 👏🧛🏻♂️

Sunday already! Where does the weekend go!?
I finished reading Misery by Stephen King earlier and it was great so starting this one next.
What are you #currentlyreading ?
#MyGeneration passed around Stephen King books. This was my first ❤️
#AnglophileApril
So, I'm in the mood for some Stephen King! Love this author so freaking much! ❤
pickWhile I enjoyed Salem‘s Lot, it wasn‘t my favorite King story. This was a slow burner (in more ways than one 😉) and drug in the middle to me.
"You came to kill the vampire, didn't you?"
Slightly behind in my 2019 reading... hoping to do some catching up while I an on vacation this week!
pickI'm trying again to re read all Stephen King books in order! Book 2 done!
I didn't like this one but I thought it was better this time around 🤷
Words to live by ❤️ #BookNerd 📚💙🤓
Trying to read my book, but I am so exhausted that I keep dozing off! 😭
I hate when that happens in the only time I get to myself all day long...
Started this last night, and can't wait to get back into it tonight!
