The Lords of Salem by Rob Zombie
3.0
Review published at Love Literature Art and Reason book review blog.
Lords of Salem was a horror novel about the early Salem witches and the present day descendant of one of the people who hunted the last witches, Heidi Hawthorne. She was a radio DJ and recovering addict, but strange things began to happen to her after a group called The Lords interviewed at her radio station.
In typical Rob Zombie fashion, the story was really weird and creepy. I vaguely remember that I did actually see the movie and thought the same thing. I enjoyed the story, but I felt like it wasn’t meant to be a book. It missed a lot of the character development that I don’t think movies/screenplays capture the same way.
For a creepy fall book that is easy to read and twisted in the way that most Rob Zombie films are creepy and twisted, it’s a great book. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t my favorite horror read and it was lacking in the details and descriptions.
