Stephen King's vampire book was entertaining. The ending left me with some questions, but overall a creepy, fun ride.

"But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you." - Stephen King (Salem's Lot)

I enjoyed reading Salem's Lot, It was fun and spooky. I loved the ragtag group of people that came together to defeat the evil happening in Jerusalem's Lot. It was kind of slow in the beginning, but picked up pace later on.
