it was amazing

'Salem's Lot by the legendary Stephen King is genuinely not only one of his greatest novels of all-time but is a horror masterpiece! The way he builds Jerusalem’s Lot piece by piece and all its interesting characters, you’ll be hooked immediately from the start. I could not put this book down and took my time reading it as it’s that immersive.

As 'Salem's Lot unfolds, whether you read it many moons ago or are just reading it for the first time, the way King is able to keep you on the edge of your seat is surreal. He set the tone for his incredible writing career back in 1975 when this was originally published and decades later, it still holds up. As a matter of fact, many readers will tell you it’s the best novel he’s ever written, yes, even scarier than “It�. I’ve read many horror novels in my life and can tell you that 'Salem's Lot is up there in the “best of the best� category without even thinking about it twice.

This is 5/5 stars in my book and is something I’d recommend to anyone that either loves King’s work or is a fan of horror. If you’re into reading novels about vampires but written in a way that stands out from anything else, 'Salem's Lot is for you. Just make sure to leave the lights on...

Momma Beal I’ve never read a Stephen King novel but I was recommended this book over and over again. I have been in a book funk for a few weeks so I finally decided to try this book & I just finished today and I have to say WOW WOW WOW! I love it and will never forget this truly amazing horror story that moved me and horrified me to the core!
I am definitely going to read another King novel if only I could pick one!!!
Any suggestions for me???

Thank you Mr. King!!
