I don't think the concept of an ensemble horror had really been honed at this time (before slashers became a popular genre) and the attitudes of the characters are also quite dated. Even once the action ramped up I was still lost as didn't feel like I had a sense of the characters to pin the action to.
I'm also a bit disappointed as this is an homage to one of my favourite books, Dracula, and Dracula it is not!
I would like to try another Stephen King but perhaps one where the plot is more straightforward.

Set in a rural area in the 70's, lots of slurs thrown around. A man catches his wife cheating, then beats her and rapes her over the next couple (?) Weeks. Several children die. A dog is killed but not graphically, we just find its body.risemini's review against another edition
